Talk:Ingrid Persdotter

Disputed
This short article seems to be based mainly on outdated literature, particularly the 19th century writings by Wilhelmina Stålberg. As described in the very detailed German article de:Ingrid Persdotter, modern scholars (starting with Magnus von Platen's 1959 analysis) are confident that the "Ingrid Persdotter" letter is most likely a late 17th century forgery, possibly by theologian Nils Rabenius (1648–1717). The letter is still highly regarded for its literary quality, but probably not written by Ingrid Persdotter, and it also seems that there was no nun of that name at the convent at the time, though a similarly named Ingeborg Persdotter.

 * In that case, it should be stated with references in the article. The article as such should of course remain in any case since she is well known, disputed or not.--Aciram (talk) 13:34, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Of course, I don't propose deletion. A translation of Happolati's well-sourced German article would fix the issues, that's why I also added the "Expand German" template, but that's not something I think I will find the time for in the near future. Gestumblindi (talk) 21:50, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
