About me

My interests are mainly in the field of historical Scandinavian philology and medieval studies in a broader perspective. In the ongoing project Heliga Birgittas texter på fornsvenska I present a modern edition of the Old Swedish version of the Revelations of St Birgitta. I have worked on scribal identifications, medieval written culture and the interplay between Old Swedish and Latin in medieval manuscripts. Another important strand in my research is related to medieval spirituality and the history of the medieval sermon and preaching. Between 2006-2015 I was General editor and member of the Editorial Board of the book series Sermo. Studies on Patristic, Medieval and Reformation Sermons and Preaching (Brepols Publishers). Between 2017-2025 I was the president of the Svenska fornskriftsällskapet.
