Join SACC New England and SWEA Boston for this interesting webinar with Dr. Gracijela Charlott Božović as she shares what a large multidisciplinary Swedish research team learned from a 17th century buried bishop by conducting X-ray and CT scans.
In 2014, the coffin of Bishop Peder Winstrup (1605-1679) was opened, exposing an extraordinary well-preserved mummy and a unique time capsule from the 17th century. Peder Winstrup was the bishop of the Cathedral of Lund for more than forty years and initiated the founding of Lund University. He was an important figure of his time. Born a Danish nobleman he later became a Swedish nobleman in the light of the turbulent historical times. He was well educated, keeping the post of professor in physics, researcher, writer, architect, theologists and a manufacturer of books. Upon his death he was put to rest in a family vault in the Cathedral of Lund. The mummy of Peder Winstrup was extensively examined during 2014-2017 before he, once again, was put to rest in the Cathedral of Lund.
