Missale Aboense
''Missale Aboense'' was the first book printed for Finland. As its name suggests, it was a prayer book used for Mass. It follows the tradition of the Dominican liturgy, which around the year 1330 was adopted as the official liturgy of the See of Turku. This poor bishopric could not afford to have its own missal printed, but its Dominican tradition came to the rescue. At the same time as the ''Missale Aboense'' was printed, a simultaneous printing appeared for the Dominican order's needs elsewhere in the Scandinavian countries. In the ''Missale Aboense'' the only main difference from this were the necessary local features of the Turku See in the Calendar of Saints. At that time there were no printing shops in Finland. (The first one, in the Royal Academy of Turku, was established in 1642.) The ''Missale'' was commissioned by Bishop Konrad Bitz from the Lübeck printer Bartholomeus Ghotan. Bitz dated his introduction to the book, Turku, 17 August 1488, and it was published in th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In Europe, the 15th century includes parts of the Late Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the early modern period.

Finnish People
Finns or Finnish people ( fi, suomalaiset, ) are a Baltic Finnic ethnic group native to Finland. Finns are traditionally divided into smaller regional groups that span several countries adjacent to Finland, both those who are native to these countries as well as those who have resettled. Some of these may be classified as separate ethnic groups, rather than subgroups of Finns. These include the Kvens and Forest Finns in Norway, the Tornedalians in Sweden, and the Ingrian Finns in Russia. Finnish, the language spoken by Finns, is closely related to other Balto-Finnic languages, e.g. Estonian and Karelian. The Finnic languages are a subgroup of the larger Uralic family of languages, which also includes Hungarian. These languages are markedly different from most other languages spoken in Europe, which belong to the Indo-European family of languages. Native Finns can also be divided according to dialect into subgroups sometimes called ''heimo'' (lit. ''tribe''), although suc ...
