A hobby project of mine has now resulted in a two-volume work published by Brill, in the series Library of the Written Word.
Title: Swedish Dissertations and their Subjects, 1600-1820: An Annotated Catalogue
From the publishers website: This book challenges earlier understandings of early modern dissertations as unimaginative academic exercises. It argues for their continuous importance in scholarly and scientific discourse, and describes the richness and diversity of their subjects and themes. The book contains a complete catalogue of the almost 20,000 Swedish dissertations defended in Uppsala, Lund and Åbo, 1600 to 1820. The catalogue includes longer comments and descriptions of a few thousand of these dissertations, and also gives an analysis of how different subjects have evolved over time.
