Linköping

Historically, Linköping is famed for being an early diocese, second in Sweden (within its pre-1658 boundaries) only to Skara. The monastery of Vreta Kloster near Roxen north of Linköping was established in 1128, and the oldest parts of the cathedral are also from the 12th century (although it has been changed many times since then, the eye-catching tower being a 19th century product). At several occasions, attempts to achieve a separate Swedish archdiocese were based in Linköping, though when they finally were successfu ...

In the outskirts of Europe the country developed its style isolated from the main cultures in the world. When Sweden's culture began spreading in the world, it was through the traditions of the century old flavours, which had been fostered and nourished and now sprung into a crescendo.

Boëthius of Dacia (born ca. 1240, died between 1280 and 1290) was a Danish philosopher active at the University of Sorbonne in Paris, France. Tied with Sigerus of Brabant, he was the most known proponent of Averroism, which is an interpretation of Aristotle founded on Averroës. He wrote several books in Latin, which have been collected in the six volumes of Boëthii Daci opera, printed in Copenhagen. When averroism was banned in 1277, Boëthius left Paris. His later whereabouts are unknown. Some historians believe he died in Italy ca. 1282. ...

The historic University of Paris (French: Université de Paris) first appeared in the second half of the 12th century, but was in 1970 reorganized as 13 autonomous universities (University of Paris I–XIII). The university is often referred to as the Sorbonne or La Sorbonne after the collegiate institution (Collège de Sorbonne) founded about 1257 by Robert de Sorbon, but the university as such is older and was never completely centered on the Sorbonne. Of the 13 current successor universities, the first f ...

It is believed that the first city built at the site of Guangzhou was Panyu (番禺; the locals pronounced this in Cantonese as Poon Yu) founded in 214 BC. The city has been continuously occupied since that time. Panyu was expanded when it became the capital of the Nanyue Kingdom (南越) in 206 BC. The Han Dynasty annexed Nanyue in 111 BC, and Panyu became a provincial capital and remains so until this day. In 226 AD, the city became the seat of the Guang Prefecture (廣州; Guangzhou). Therefore, "Guangzhou" was the name of the prefecture, not of the city. However, people grew accustomed to calling ...

Main articles: Foundation of Modern Sweden and Sigismund of Sweden When King John III of Sweden died in 1592, his son Sigismund inherited the throne, despite his Catholic upbringing and despite already being King of Poland-Lithuania. However, he was refused coronation unless he agreed to the conditions of a clerical convention in Uppsala, making Sweden decisively protestant. The debate was resolved in 1594, and freedom of religion was proclaimed, although only protestants could hold high offices. The nobility also sought greate ...

Milles was born Carl Wilhelm Andersson outside Uppsala in 1875. In 1897 he made what he thought would be a temporary stop in Paris on his way to Chile where he was to manage a school of gymnastics. However, he remained in Paris, where he studied art, working in Auguste Rodin's studio and slowly gaining recognition as a sculptor. In 1904 he and Olga moved to Munich. Two years later they settled in Sweden, buying property on Herserud Cliff in Lidigo, a large island near Stockholm. Millesgarden was built there between 1906 and 1908 as th ...

It was suffragan to the Archdiocese of Hamburg (990-1104), to the Archdiocese of Lund (1104-64), and finally to the Archdiocese of Uppsala (1164-1530). This diocese, the most ancient in Sweden, included the provinces of Västergötland and Värmland. After the reformation, Värmland was made part of the Diocese of Mariestad, later transferred to Karlstad (Diocese of Karlstad). It was founded about 990 at Skara, the capital of the country of the Geats (Gauthiod), the whole of which it embraced until about 1100, when the eastern portion ...

Codex Argenteus - Origin. The tribes we consider Gothic were nominally Arians during the period of time when Ulfilas translated the Christian bible into Gothic, meaning that they followed the teachings of Arius about the person and nature of Jesus Christ. The "Silver Bible" was probably written for the Ostrogothic King Theodoric the Great, either at his royal seat in Ravenna, or in the Po valley or at Brescia. It was made as a special and impressive book written with gold and silver ink on high-quality thin vellu ...

Similarly to the other of the earliest medieval universities (University of Bologna, University of Oxford, University of Coimbra, University of Salamanca), but in opposition to later ones (such as the University of Prague, University of Krakow or the University of Heidelberg), the University of Paris was never established through a specific foundation act, such as a royal charter or papal bull. It grew up in the latter part of the 12th century around the Notre Dame Cathedral as a corporation similar to other medieval corporations, such as gu ...
