One must mention the first complete modern biography of Oxenstierna – Gunnar Wetterberg's useful, elegant, and well‐informed Kanslern: Axel Oxenstierna i sin tid. (Stockholm: Atlantis, 2002). 2. The database and correspondence with Christina are available at ‘Oxenstiernaprojeket,’ http://www.ra.se/ra/Oxenstierna/Oxenstierna1.html, accessed 17 June 2005. Other researchers have prepared the letters to Oxenstierna from Jan Rutgers (1615–1625) and James Spens (1613–1630). 3.

See most recently Werner Wilhelm Schnabel, Das Stammbuch: Konstitution und Geschichte einer textsortenbezogenen Sammelform bis ins erste Drittel des 18. Jahrhunderts (Tübingen: Max Niemeyer, 2003). 1. As István Deák noticed in Essays on Hitler's Europe (Lincoln & London: University of Nebraska Press, 2001, p. 155), present‐day Hungarian nationalists have used a similar argument to claim that the Hungarian authorities collaborated with the Germans mainly in order to save Jewish lives. It should be underlined that Lajos does not present such an explanation. 2. Attila Lajos, Hjälten och offren. Raoul Wallenberg och judarna i Budapest (Växjö: Svenska Emigrantinstitutets skriftserie, 2004), pp. 57–63, 177–227. 3. Lajos, p. 309. 4.

Lajos, p. 315. 6. Lajos makes a short comparison between Bernadotte and Wallenberg on p. 10, but does not elaborate in depth on differences and similarities when it comes to their roles as heroes. 7.
