- Abstract :
- Examines 16th-c. Danish graveslabs and tombstones in order to see whether they reflect differences in lifestyle between people possessing a Catholic or Protestant belief. Explores the choices of language, style, mottos, motives, attributes, positions, and costumes made by both client and stonemason, direct and indirect elements of Protestantism, the concept of graveslabs and the regional differences in space and time. Also draws on documentary evidence. Argues that the graveslabs and tombstones show a Protestant society reflecting a habitus of the living transferred to the monuments of the dead. ;
