Impacts on literature and records

edit

"The Reformation was responsible for losses in all parts of Scandinavia. The only Swedish monastic library that was even partly preserved was Vadstena's; many of its manuscripts were given to Uppsala University."[1]

"Accidental fires, medieval as well as modern, have also taken their toll of records and manuscripts. The early archives of Stockholm were lost when the town's Radhus burned in 1419, and many medieval records disappeared in the fires that destroyed Stockholm Castle in 1697 and Copenhagen University Library in 1728. Fortunately transcripts or excerpts of some archival materials were made in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries."[1]
