During the reformations in England and Denmark the circulation of books was an important issue. The leaders of the two realms, and the church authorities appointed to conceptualise and disseminate reforms, were concerned about the content of religious books, not only liturgical books, but also private devotional books. Both countries issued warnings against books with erroneous teachings. In both countries there are several extant medieval prayer books that show signs of reuse after the reformation. The owners made attempts to appropriate them according to the new practices of devotion. In her chapter, Laura Katrine Skinnebach examines the practice of appropriation, that is, what changes were made, and in particular how, in order to shed further light on how people internalised the reformation ideals of their respective homelands. |
