Titel: Swedish Education, Latin Names
Skrivet av: Dianne Catalano skrivet 2010-10-06, 02:41
My ancestor Nils Jonasson Diurberg (Diurberg = soldier name) studied at Strängnäs before joining the military. A family researcher thinks he is the Nicolaus Forselius listed on pages 22 (Class Secunda, 1706) and 25 (Class Tertia 1707) in the book MATRICULA REGII COLLEGII STRENGNENSIS, 1700-1730, UTGIVEN AV HARALD PETERSEN, ÅRSREDOGÖRELSE, 1948-1949. Would Nils' inclusion in the list of students in the above book indicate that he studied at the Cathedral school, or would the Thomas Gymnasium established in 1626 also have been a possibility? Were Latin names used only at Cathedral schools, or at others as well? Thank you in advance for any help that anyone can give me.
