LE NORD
1934, may also be regarded as a sort of periodical. It prints
papers dealing with subjects pertaining to all the fields covered
by the activities of the Academy. Primarily it is intended as a
collection of papers and lectures by the members.
Among the 58 papers which have appeared in this Annual,
the following may be mentioned: Otto von Friesen: “Har
det nordiska kungadömet sakralt ursprung?” (Is the Scandinavian
Monarchy of Sacral Origin?), (1934); J. A. Lundell: “Folkmalen
i Södra Kalmar lan” (Dialects of the Southern Kalmar Province),
(1934); Arthur Haberlandt: “Die Einwirkung der deutschen
Volkskultur auf die östlichen Völker” (1936); Natan Lindqvist:
“Ordgranser och ordförandringar” (Word Limits and Word
Changes), (1937); Albert Hamaláinen: “Uppgifter av Karl XII:s
krigare om finsk-ugriska folk” (Accounts by Soldiers of Charles
XII of the Finno-Ugrian Peoples), (1938); D. A. Seip “Svensk
innflytelse pá norsk i slutten av middelalderen” (Swedish influence
on the Norwegian Language towards the End of the Middle
Ages), (1937); Björn Collinder: “Finska och lapska spráken i
Sverige” (the Finnish and Lappic Languages in Sweden), (1939);
Jöran Sahlgren: “Ságnerna om trollen Finn och Skalle och deras
kyrkobyggande” (The Legends of the Trolls Finn and Skalle and
their Building of Churches), (1940—41); Sune Lindquist: “Hun-
ningestenen och Franks skrin” (The Hunninge Stone and Frank’s
Shrine), (1940); Olof Gjerdman: “Hon som var várre án den
onde” (The 'W’oman who was worse than the Devil), (1941);
Martin P. Nilsson: “Folktraditionens upplösning” (The Disso-
lution of Popular Tradition), (1941); and Dag Strömbáck: “Hade
de germanska dödsstraffen sakralt ursprung?” (Were the Teu-
tonic Death Penalties of Sacral Origin?) (1942).
As a supplement to “Saga och Sed,” there appeared in 1943
“The Memorial Book of the Royal Gustavus Adolphus Academy
1932—42,” which contains memoirs and obituaries of twenty
members of the Academy who have died during the first ten
years of its existence. The initiative towards the publication of
this book was taken by the President of the Academy, Secretary
of State K. G. Westman. It is intended to publish a similar
memorial book every ten years. It seems likely that these memorial
books will come to constitute an indispensable work of reference,
both as regards the study of folk culture and the history of
scholarship, as they will contain biographies and bibliographies
of the majority of the most prominent Scandinavian scholars
