On religious aspects of Olof Hermelin's Collection of elegies on Swedish towns, the Hecatompolis Suionum (composed ca. 1685), and in his other poems
This article is a case study based mainly on Olof Hermelin's (1658-1709) partly unfinished work, under the name of Hecatompolis Suionum, 'Hundred Towns of the Swedes', consisting of a about 1100 elegiac verses, composed around 1685, modified by the poet for a decade thereafter, and published in 2010 by Bengt Thomasson (the text edition in Latin), Tore Wretö (the introduction and the metrical translation in Swedish) and Hans Helander (the over-all picture and the commentary, in Swedish). My paper will naturally not alter the general picture that we have of the Church, theology and religious propaganda in Neo-Latin literature in Sweden in the 17~(th) century, already completely studied and published by Helander in 2004 in his monograph.I hope that my contribution brings up some new minor, but interesting details for academic discussion.
