BAGGESEN, biig'ge-spn, Jens (1764-1826).
A Danish poet, born at Korsiir, who in his early
works represented Eighteenth-Century culture
and afterwards became a rejiresentative of a re-
strained romanticism. His first poems were
Comic Tales (1785), followed by satires, epis-
tles, and elegies, produced with restless haste, in
which, however, he showed himself a consei'va-
tive champion of form against the innovation of
the romanticists, and won the title, 'poet of the
grace^s.' Under the patronage of the Duke of
Augustenburg he traveled widely, was for a time
director of the National Theatre in Copenhagen,
and in 1800 went to Paris. In 1811 he became
professor at Kiel, and later returned to Copen-
hagen to find his fame eclipsed by that of the
romantio Oehlenschlager (q.v.), who at first
conunanded his sincere admiration, but later
evoked his bitter criticism. He left the field,
defeated, for a voluntary exile at Hamburg,
in 1820. The Labyrinth '(2 vols., 1792-93), his
most important work, is a graceful impression-
ist's description of his journeys. He wrote also
in German, and left a vast and entertaining Cor-
renpondencc. Though now little read, and never
genuinely popular, his work exercised in its time
a great inlluence upon the literary public. Con-

BAGIMONT'S (bnj'i-monts) , or BAGAMUND'S (bag'a-numdz) ROLL. The name given, from the end of the Thirteenth Century till the Reformation, to a valuation, according
to which the ecclesiastical benefices of Scotland
were taxed. It took its name from an Italian
churchman, Boiamund de Vesci, who was sent
from Rome in 1275 to collect the tithes from all
the Church livings in Scotland for an expedition
to the Holy Land, as decreed by the Second Coun-
cil of Lyons (1274). Hitherto the Scotch clergj'
had been taxed according to a- conventional val-
uation, called the aiifirjua taxntio: but Boia-
mund set this aside, and, in spite of their opposi-
tion, assessed the benefices at their actual yearly
worth, or versus valor. Consult Archxeologia,
Vol. XVII. (London, 1813).
