FEATURE - Auf Robben- und Kalbsfell: Das Hagenes-Manuskript gilt als ältestes Buch Norwegens
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
This medieval book, from Hagenes Farm in Bergen, may well be the oldest one surviving in Norway.
Earlier this year, the farm's family, who passed it down through generations, entrusted it to the National Library of Norway, where every manuscript and ancient text undergoes meticulous examination.
The little book was indeed in poor condition - but Palandri quickly realised it was unique.
Stored in a controlled environment of high humidity, the manuscript is handled only by trained conservators. When Science Norway visited, Palandri carefully brought it out for inspection.
The manuscript, now known as the Hagenes Manuscript, contains religious songs and is believed to date from the 13th century. Around the year 1200, Christianity was already deeply established in Norway.
Documents and books from the Middle Ages are rare in Norway. When the country became Protestant in 1537, handwritten Catholic texts fell out of use. Old parchments were often recycled to bind new printed books.
Later, under Danish rule, valuable manuscripts were sent abroad. Today, much of Norway’s medieval written heritage resides in Copenhagen and the Vatican. That makes the newly discovered book particularly valuable.
The tome is believed to have been a working book, used in everyday church life. The manuscript’s parchment pages are made from calfskin, but the binding — fashioned from seal skin — is exceptionally rare.
The songs — known as sequences — were hymns sung in church on feast days, often in honour of saints. The Hagenes manuscript includes songs for Mary and All Saints’ Day.
Only two other Norwegian books of comparable age are known: the Kvikne Psalter, also from the 13th century and still in its original binding, and the Old Norwegian Homily Book, preserved in Copenhagen but missing its original cover.
The book now has eight surviving pages, though evidence suggests several are missing. Samples have been sent for protein and DNA analysis to con **

**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**
Archaeologists have been excavating a “new Great Wall of China” that stretches for over 4,000 kilometres.
The excavations on a medieval frontier garrison in Mongolia are flipping everything we thought we knew about ancient walls on its head.
The international dig has revealed that some colossal barriers stretching across the Eurasian steppe weren’t built to fend off invaders - as per legend - but instead to manage people, mark territory, and show off dynastic might.
The so-called Medieval Wall System (MWS) takes in Mongolia, China and Russia – and hows now being hailed as a forgotten sibling to the Great Wall of China. However, it may have had a different purpose.
“We sought to determine the use of the enclosure and the Mongolian Arc,” said Professor Gideon Shelach-Lavi from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who’s leading the excavations.
“What was its function? Was it primarily a military system designed to defend against invading armies, or was it intended to control the empire's outermost regions by managing border crossings, addressing civilian unrest, and preventing small-scale raids?
“Considerable investment in the garrison’s walls, as well as in the structures within them, suggests a year-round occupation”, concludes Professor Shelach-Lavi. “Future analysis of samples taken from this site will help us better understand the resources used by the people stationed at the garrison, their diet, and their way of life.”
The team, part of a Mongolian-Israeli-American research project called The Wall, surveyed the 405km-long Mongolian stretch – known as the Mongolian Arc – and excavated a fortified enclosure.
What they found was very different to what they expected.

Archaeologists have been excavating a “new Great Wall of China” that stretches for over 4,000 kilometres.
The excavations on a medieval frontier garrison in Mongolia are flipping everything we thought we knew about ancient walls on its head.
The international dig has revealed that some colossal barriers stretching across the Eurasian steppe weren’t built to fend off invaders - as per legend - but instead to manage people, mark territory, and show off dynastic might.
The so-called Medieval Wall System (MWS) takes in Mongolia, China and Russia – and hows now being hailed as a forgotten sibling to the Great Wall of China. However, it may have had a different purpose.
“We sought to determine the use of the enclosure and the Mongolian Arc,” said Professor Gideon Shelach-Lavi from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who’s leading the excavations.
“What was its function? Was it primarily a military system designed to defend against invading armies, or was it intended to control the empire's outermost regions by managing border crossings, addressing civilian unrest, and preventing small-scale raids?
“Considerable investment in the garrison’s walls, as well as in the structures within them, suggests a year-round occupation”, concludes Professor Shelach-Lavi. “Future analysis of samples taken from this site will help us better understand the resources used by the people stationed at the garrison, their diet, and their way of life.”
The team, part of a Mongolian-Israeli-American research project called The Wall, surveyed the 405km-long Mongolian stretch – known as the Mongolian Arc – and excavated a fortified enclosure.
What they found was very different to what they expected.
The “wall” running along the Arc turned out not to be a towering fortress, but rather a shallow ditch and a mound of earth – unlikely to stop an army but perfect for controlling mo *** Local Caption *** 47

Hier lässt es sich aushalten: Vermieterportal Airbnb bietet Übernachtungen im Mittelalterschloss Old Rowallan Castle in der britischen Grafschaft Ayrshire an / 2018 *** A medieval castle which inspired one of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's best-known buildings is up for rent on Airbnb - costing £1,200 a night.
Old Rowallan Castle, in Ayrshire, has been transformed into luxury accommodation three years after being removed from "state guardianship" to try to secure its future.
It will cost £1,200 a night for up to eight people to stay in its four double rooms - but it does come with a golf course designed by Ryder Cup winner Colin Montgomerie and a country club on its doorstep.
The building, which dates back to the 13th century, was put into the care of the nation since the 1950s due to its declining condition after a new castle was built on the site in the early 20th century.
Its modern-day owners waged a prolonged campaign to be allowed to take back control of the castle and turn it into tourist accommodation.
The Renaissance-style castle - an ancestral home for the Mure and Campbell families - was brought back to life after a deal was agreed three years ago with the Scottish Government, its heritage agency and East Ayrshire Council.
The castle, near Kilmarnock, is based around a two-storey property believed to date back to 1263 in its oldest surviving sections.
Built on the banks of the Carmel Water, it was thought to be the birthplace of Elizabeth Mure, who would marry Robert Stewart, a future Scottish king, in 1346.
But she died before he succeeded to the throne in 1371.
Extended in the 16th and 17th centuries, the castle was said to have inspired Charles Rennie Mackintosh's designs for the Scotland Street School in Glasgow.
Its most recent owner, property developer Niall Campbell, also owns the surrounding estate, which includes a 19th century "new castle" which has been converted into a five-star hot **

It will cost £1,200 a night for up to eight people to stay in its four double rooms - but it does come with a golf course designed by Ryder Cup winner Colin Montgomerie and a country club on its doorstep.
The building, which dates back to the 13th century, was put into the care of the nation since the 1950s due to its declining condition after a new castle was built on the site in the early 20th century.
Its modern-day owners waged a prolonged campaign to be allowed to take back control of the castle and turn it into tourist accommodation.
The Renaissance-style castle - an ancestral home for the Mure and Campbell families - was brought back to life after a deal was agreed three years ago with the Scottish Government, its heritage agency and East Ayrshire Council.
The castle, near Kilmarnock, is based around a two-storey property believed to date back to 1263 in its oldest surviving sections.
Built on the banks of the Carmel Water, it was thought to be the birthplace of Elizabeth Mure, who would marry Robert Stewart, a future Scottish king, in 1346.
But she died before he succeeded to the throne in 1371.
Extended in the 16th and 17th centuries, the castle was said to have inspired Charles Rennie Mackintosh's designs for the Scotland Street School in Glasgow.
Its most recent owner, property developer Niall Campbell, also owns the surrounding estate, which includes a 19th century "new castle" which has been converted into a five-star hot **

The building, which dates back to the 13th century, was put into the care of the nation since the 1950s due to its declining condition after a new castle was built on the site in the early 20th century.
Its modern-day owners waged a prolonged campaign to be allowed to take back control of the castle and turn it into tourist accommodation.
The Renaissance-style castle - an ancestral home for the Mure and Campbell families - was brought back to life after a deal was agreed three years ago with the Scottish Government, its heritage agency and East Ayrshire Council.
The castle, near Kilmarnock, is based around a two-storey property believed to date back to 1263 in its oldest surviving sections.
Built on the banks of the Carmel Water, it was thought to be the birthplace of Elizabeth Mure, who would marry Robert Stewart, a future Scottish king, in 1346.
But she died before he succeeded to the throne in 1371.
Extended in the 16th and 17th centuries, the castle was said to have inspired Charles Rennie Mackintosh's designs for the Scotland Street School in Glasgow.
Its most recent owner, property developer Niall Campbell, also owns the surrounding estate, which includes a 19th century "new castle" which has been converted into a five-star hot **
