Thank you for this wonderful source of information, Fox and Karin.
Can you give us some more details on when these texts were written?
If these are a secondary source, what the original was and when it
was written and a bibliographic referance for this book, even if is
in Swedish?

I will be putting this article in the Florilegium because I think
it will be of use to those studying Scandanavia as well as those
just looking for info on daily medieval life.

If you have a bibliography of such documents that would be of use
to other researchers, translated or not, that would be of interest, too.
