Some “new” books in the collection

I’ve got a few post not ready for posting yet; on the rune stones at Fresta church north of Stockholm and on the adventures in Skarlunda outside of Sodertalje. These will be posted during the week to come as I will work in Lerum some miles east of Gothenburg.

This weekend I’ve been attending a wedding and gotten a few hours in Jonkoping where I picked up a few books, some more fun than others, what do you think of these cool titles;

Clergyman and others. 1790. The biographical and martyrological dictionary: containing the lives, sufferings, and deaths, of the most eminent martyrs and confessors of Christ… By a clergyman and others. Newcastle upon Tyne: printed by M. Angus

Among these I also got a few others, I’ll get back to them later.

    The dictionary looks amazing. Those very old religious texts are so deliciously grotesque! lol

      They are a true delight, I just love to find these books though they drain my savings account.

        A good question! But it would have been a bit cool to have found an older branch of the RAA
