“…The threat to bury someone in unconsecrated ground, like an animal, did not only have religious connotations but would also impugn the honour of an individual and their family.63 As Craig Koslofsky and David Luebke have pointed out in different contexts, burials remained a disputed issue in Germany throughout the sixteenth century because they were interpreted as confessional markers of the deceased and their families. 64 Some of Leisentrit's recommendations were practical, rather than theological, in nature. When someone was sick and thought that he or she might die, Leisentrit recommended that they should send for a Catholic priest immediately so that he could absolve them and administer the Eucharist.…”

“…They could eliminate the liturgical space for the ars moriendi, but not the cultural assumptions that fed it-they could prohibit deathbed anointing, but not silence the requests of the dying for its holy protection. Thus, the outcomes of conscious attempts in the Reformation to transform late medieval memory work (Koslofsky, 2000) were underwritten, influenced and subverted by the needs of Lutheran authors to speak in dialogue with cultural forms intelligible to their audiences.…”

Post-Colonial Reformation? Hybridity in 16th-Century Christianity

The author considers the utility of post-colonial theory, specifically Homi Bhabha’s notion of hybridity, for its conceptualization of religious diversity and transformation in the German Reformation. She argues that an explicit discourse on the respective ‘‘purity’’ of the confessions should be read in the context of cultural practices that draw not on signs of difference and purity but on cultural commonalities and thus constitute hybridities. This process can be seen in the commemoration of Luther’s death, which relies on traditional Catholic notions of the good Christian death to support its evangelical claims. Using ‘‘hybridity’’ may be a way to circumvent diffculties in the confessionalization paradigm.

“…På dette punktet nøyde man seg med å forenkle og fjernet de ledd som ikke lot seg forene med den reformatoriske laereinterpretasjonen. 26 Dødsmessen hørte ikke lenger med, formet som den var av «vranglaere» på flere punkter, slik reformatorene oppfattet det. Det samme gjaldt memorialhandlinger og sjelemesser, som på samme vis knyttet an til oppfatningen av messens offer som en meriterende gjerning.…”

The article discusses the transition from Catholic to Lutheran funeral liturgies and burial customs in Norway. The emphasis is on the transition phase, but lines are drawn both backwards and to practices in the early modern period. Liturgical and canonical sources constitute the main analyzed material, complemented by diplomas and a distinctive source type, the so-called church findings: discoveries of coins under the floor of churches from the time before and after the Reformation. The author points out that the sources indicate that the Reformation entailed a significant alteration within this area. At some points, tendencies towards a certain continuity can be observed -this concerns not least popular piety performances. KeywordsReformation, funeral liturgies, coin findings, popular belief and customs SAMMENDRAG Artikkelen drøfter overgangen fra katolske til lutherske gravferdsliturgier og begravelsesskikker, i norsk kontekst. Vekten legges på transisjonsfasen, men det trekkes noen linjer både bakover og til praksis i tidlig moderne tid. Utgangspunktet tas i liturgiske og kirkerettslige kilder, som suppleres av diplomatarisk materiale og av en saeregen kildetype, de såkalte kirkefunnene. Dette dreier seg om myntfunn under kirkegolv fra tiden før og etter reformasjonen. Forfatteren peker på at det samlede kildetilfanget understreker at konfesjonsskiftet innebar et uttalt brudd når det gjaldt begravelsesriter. På noen områder ses tendenser til en viss kontinuitet -det gjelder primaert folkelige forestillinger og skikker.
