Summary:

With the aim to rewrite the history of Christianity in Scandinavia with Jerusalem as a lens, this book investigates the image, or rather the imagination, of Jerusalem in the religious, political, and artistic cultures of Scandinavia through most of the second millennium. Jerusalem is conceived as a code to Christian cultures in Scandinavia. The first volume is dealing with the different notions of Jerusalem in the Middle Ages.
