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.

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.
