NEW PUBLICATION
Congratulations to Christian Cooijmans on the publication of his translation of Annales Fontanellenses, which is now accessible (open access) on Apardjón’s website: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/sdhp/translations-2006.php

The ninth-century Annales Fontanellenses are a concise set of monastic annals composed by the community of St Wandrille, situated along the lower reaches of the river Seine. Covering the 840s and 850s, their contents are concerned with a relatively brief but highly tumultuous period in the history of the Frankish realm, representing an eclectic range of reports on meteorological phenomena, politico-military proceedings, and the movements of viking hosts across the western-Frankish kingdom. considering the composition and content of the annals in their institutional and historiographical context, the present work furnishes the first annotated English translation of this often-overlooked text.

Congratulations to everyone involved!

VOLUME 2 IS NOW AVAILABLE

https://www.abdn.ac.uk/sdhp/current-issue-1934.php

Volume 2 of Apardjón includes three full-length articles. In the first article, ‘The Influences of Christianity on East Sámi Burial Customs’, Paula Budó i Rosa investigates eastern Sámi burial customs before and after the transition to Christianity (c. 1550-1750).
Next up we have ‘Gunnars saga Keldugnúpsfífls and Icelandic Identity: The Rewriting of History for a Peripheral European Community’ by Roberto Luigi Pagani. Roberto Luigi Pagani draws new attention to the Icelandic saga Gunnars saga Keldugnúpsfífls as a fictional product, primarily focusing on the way the saga rewrites and reinterprets the past to suit its contemporary Icelandic audience’s needs.
In the third and final article, ‘Crusades, Cities and Castles: Finland as Sweden’s Militarised Borderland c. 1150-1300’, Caroline Wilhelmsson examines how Finland was militarised following its conquest by Sweden and emphasises often overlooked aspects of the Nordic Middle Ages.

This volume is also accompanied by eight book reviews, conducted by Melissa Ridley Elmes, Amy Jefford Franks, Peggy Gilbert, Gwendolyne Knight, Giulia Mancini, Keith Ruiter, Dain Swenson and Elizabeth J. West.

We would like to thank all of our authors for contributing to this volume, as well as thanking everyone for the continued support Apardjón receives online.
