Leichenpredigten als Quelle für Grabbeigaben im protestantischen Begräbniswesen der Neuzeit

Abstract

Printed Baroque funeral sermons from the Protestant cultural zone are a serial source for information about funeral traditions in early modern history. Especially the written course of life may yield information about dieing, funeral ceremony, place of the burial (cemetery, church, tomb), coffins, or offerings. For the archaeologist, systematic collection of funeral sermons, and additional information on their locations (www.uni-marburg/fpmr), provide an easy access to this kind of source
