Notater vedrørende Skipper Klementes opstand og slaget ved Svendstrup mose. Afskrift efter Vendsyssel Aarbøger 1925 1933 - 1934

Niels Larsen Stevns created this transcription from the Vendsyssel Annals of 1925 using paper, pen, and ink. These everyday materials speak to the accessibility of historical study and personal reflection. The even lines of text, carefully inscribed, reveal Stevns's engagement with the original source material, a detailed account of Skipper Clement's rebellion. The choice of a simple notebook format underscores the act of copying and preserving knowledge. This intimate scale invites close reading and contemplation. The labor-intensive process of handwriting imbues the transcription with a sense of care and dedication to the historical narrative. By choosing such modest means, Stevns democratizes history, making it a tangible, personal endeavor rather than a grand, untouchable subject. This challenges the traditional hierarchy between formal historical writing and individual engagement with the past. In doing so, Stevns elevates the act of transcription to a form of artful preservation.
