In den WarenkorbLeather. Zustand: Good. First edition. A very scarce first edition of Ole Worm's important work studying the ancient runestones in Scandinavia, his work being the beginning of Danish research into runes, with information on runestones now lost. Illustrated throughout, including with a folding The first edition of this work. A ve…ry scarce work. In the original Latin. Two volumes in one, containing 'Danicorum Monumentorum Libri Sex', published in 1643, and 'Regum Daniae', published in 1642. This work is a quarto. The signatures run as a-c4, A-Z4, Aa-Zz4, Aaa-Xxx4, Yyy3, *6, A-D4, E2. Illustrated with a folding plate, and one-hundred and forty-eight in-text woodcuts. Text in Latin with quotations and examples in Runic, Danish and Greek. Includes index. With an engraved allegorical title to 'Danicorum Monumentorum'. Pages 1, and 28-9 of 'Reum Daniae' printed in red and black. Collated from Jisc from copies held at the University of Oxford Libraries, and King's College London Library, bound without rear endpaper, otherwise complete. A fascinating work on Scandinavian runes, being Ole Worm's magnum opus on runes. 'Danicorum Monumentorum' was the first written study of runestones, and the first scientific analysis of runestones. It is also one of the only surviving sources for depictions of various runestones and inscriptions from Denmark, some of which are now lost. To create 'Danicorum Monumentorum', Worm sent various artists around the Danish kingdom, tasking them with providing accurate sketches of the monuments and their engraved runes. Most runestones are located in Scandinavia, particularly in modern day Sweden, and the tradition of making them began in the fourth century, continuing until the twelfth century. Runestones are raised stones with runic inscriptions, often memorials to dead men. They were typically brightly coloured when built, but the colour has worn off. 'Regum Daniae' is a part of the oldest surviving manuscript of the Scanian law codex, a medieval manuscript of provincial law. The manuscript in question was peculiar, as it had been written in runes, and provided evidence to Worm that runes were the common medieval letters in Scandinavia. In this work are also two lists on Danish kings, and short medieval treatises which states that Scania belongs to Denmark. Scania is a province in the south of Sweden. The Codex Runicus, which is written in medieval runes, was a codex from around the year 1300. Worm is known as the founder of Danish research into runes. He was given letters of introduction by the King of Denmark, to introduce Worm to the bishops of Denmark and Norway. However, Worm is now best known for his 'Museum Wormianum', a cabinet of curiosities in his home in Copenhagen. His curiosities ranged from objects from the natural world, to scientific instruments, to global cultural objects. It provided the foundation for what became Denmark's National Museum. Worm was also the professor of Greek, Latin, Physics, and Medicine at the University of Copenhagen. He wrote other works on Danish runes, including his 1626 work 'Fasti Danici'. In science, his speciality was in embryology, and the Wormian bones are names after him. Two important works by the Danish antiquarian Ole Worm. In a full contemporary calf binding. Externally, sound. Some rubbing to the boards and spine. Loss to the head and tail of the spine and to the spine label. Surface cracks to the spine. Bumping and small loss to the extremities.

Captions and some runic letters printed in red. A very nice wide margined copy printed on good paper of the scarce first editions of both of Worm's famous masterpieces on runes - 1) "Danicorum Monumentorum" being Worm's runic magnum opus, which not only constitutes the first written study of runestones and the first scientific analysis of them, but also one of the only surviving sources for depictions of numerous runestones and inscriptions from Denmark, many of which are now lost" 2) "Regum Daniae", which contains the highly important reproduction of The Law of Scania in runes as well as in Latin translation with commentaries. The "Danicorum Monumentorum", with its numerous woodcut renderings of monuments with rune-inscriptions - including the world-famous folded plate of the Golden Horn, which had been found only five year previously, and which is now lost - is arguably the most significant work on runes ever written, founding the study of runes and runic monuments. Most of the woodcuts were done after drawings by the Norwegian student Jonas Skonvig" they are now of monumental importance to the study of runes and runic monuments, not only because they appeared here for the first time in print, but also because many of the monuments are now lost and these illustrations are the only surviving remains that we have. Ole Worm (Olaus Wormius) (1588-1655) was a famous Danish polymath, who was widely travelled and who had studied at a range of different European universities. Like many of the great intellectuals of the Early Modern era, Worm's primary occupation was as a physician, for which he gained wide renown. He later became court doctor to King Christian IV of Denmark. In 1621, Worm had become professor of physics, but already the year before, in 1620, had he begun the famous collection that would become one of the greatest cabinets of curiosites in Europe (and one of the first museums) and which would earn him the position as the first great systematic collector (within natural history) in Scandinavia. It was his then newly begun collection that enabled him, as professor of physics, to introduce demonstrative subject teaching at the university, as something completely new. He continued building and adding to his magnificent collection, now known as "Museum Wormianum", throughout the rest of his life. Worm's fascination for antiquarian subjects not only resulted in his famous "Museum Wormianum", but also in a deep fascination with early Scandinavian and runic literature and the history and meaning of runestones. These monuments found throughout Scandinavia, were carved with runic inscriptions and set in place from about the fourth to the twelfth centuries. In most cases, they are burial headstones, presumably for heroes and warriors.Worm published works on the runic calendar, translations of runic texts and explications of folklore associated with the runestone histories. By far his most extensive and important work was the "Danicorum Monumentorum", which was the first serious attempt at scientifically analyzing and recording all 144 then known runestone sites in Denmark. With the King's blessing and support, Worm contacted bishops all over the country who were instructed to provide details and drawings of the barrows, stone circles and carved inscriptions in their regions.Many of the monume.

In den WarenkorbThird Edition. 280 x 185 mm. (11 x 7 1/4"). 8 p.l., 191 pp., [4] leaves. Pleasing 18th century calf, gilt ruled borders, raised bands, compartments gilt with floral tools, one red and one green spine label with gilt lettering, all edges red. With engraved title and a portrait of Worm by Simon de Pas, six engraved illustrations a…nd 12 woodcut illustrations (four of these in red), and several woodcut tables, initials, and tailpieces. Printed in red and black. Engraved title with a couple of ink notations. Brunet V, 1477. âJoints a bit worn (with thin cracks alongside the top and bottom compartment of the upper joint), covers with a few scratches and stains, other minor wear, one index leaf with a five-inch tear touching a handful of letters without loss, a hint of browning and other trivial imperfections, but in excellent condition overall, the appealing binding secure, and the paper very clean and crisp. Written by one of the founders of runic studies, this is the author's first work on the subject, dealing extensively with the Medieval runic calendar system and illustrating important Scandinavian artifacts. Although runes have been used for inscriptions since ancient times, runic calendars--a type of perpetual calendar used to record lunar cycles and important days, including Christian feast days--are believed to have emerged in the Middle Ages, and were still used in some places into the 19th century. Significantly, the present work includes a comprehensive study of one of the oldest known runic calendars to have survived the Medieval period: a vellum manuscript called the "Computus Runicus" found in Gotland, Sweden, dating to 1328. Our author includes a transcription of the text, images, and tables found in the Computus Runicus, as well as a side-by-side translation and notes in Latin, and, in places, the vernacular. The original manuscript was lost in the fire that destroyed approximately one third of Copenhagen in 1728, making the present work the only extant record of its existence, and a critical source for the study of early Medieval runes. First published in 1626, the present enlarged edition contains a longer text and five additional illustrations, including a full-page image of a runic calendar carved into bone (which is now also believed to be lost). In addition to his groundbreaking work on the history and translation of runes, Ole Worm (1588-1654) was also a natural historian, antiquary, and the personal physician to King Christian IV of Denmark. Today he is best remembered for his famous wunderkammer, dubbed the "Museum Wormianum," containing an extensive collection of natural curiosities and cultural artifacts from all over the world. All of Worm's writings are very scarce.

In den WarenkorbHafniae (Copenhagen), Melchior Matzan, Joachim Moltke, 1641. Small folio. Bound in an newer absolutely exquisite full mottled calf pastiche-binding with five raised bands and gilt title-label to richly gilt spine. Gilt ornamental borders with gilt corner-pieces to boards, all edges of boards gilt, and inner gilt dentelles. Title…-page restored at inner hinge, far from affecting print. Some leaves slighly dusty and some mostly light brownspotting. Overall very nice indeed. The folded plate neatly re-enforced at the foldings, from verso, and on stub. "Dupl" written in hand to upper right corner of title-page and with two stamps to verso: "Museum Britannicum" and "British Museum Sale Duplicate 1787". (8), 72 pp. + large folded engraved plate of the horn. Exceedingly scarce first printing of one of the most important works in Scandinavian history. Worm?s monumental 1641-treatise is the first and single most important work on what is arguably the most famous Danish cultural artifact, namely the first Golden Horn, and constitutes our primary source of knowledge of that now lost treasure. For Danes, the Golden Horns, discovered on 1639 and 1734 respectively, with their amazing, complicated, and tragic story, constitute the Scandinavian equivalent to the Egyptian pyramids and have been the object of the same kind of fascination here in the North, causing a wealth of fantastical interpretations, both historical, literary, mystical, linguistic, and artistic. The two golden horns constitute the greatest National treasure that we have. They are both from abound 400 AD and are thought to have been a pair. A span of almost 100 years elapsed between the finding of the first horn and the finding of the second. Although the first was by far the most important, both findings are now a fundamental part of Danish cultural heritage. In 1802 the horns were stolen, and the story of this theft became the greatest Danish detective story of all times. The thief was eventually caught, but it turned out that he had melted both of the horns and used the gold for other purposes. Before the horns were stolen, a copy of the horns was made and shipped to the King of Italy, but the cast which was used to make this copy was destroyed, before news had reached the kingdom of Denmark that the copies made from the cast were lost on their way to Italy, in a shipwreck. Worm's work constitutes not only the earliest description of the seminal first horn, but also the most important source that we now have to the knowledge of the horn. It is on the basis of the description and depiction in the present work that the later copies of the first horn were made. Both horns were found in Gallehus near Møgeltønder, the first in 1639, by Kirsten Svendsdatter, the second in 1734, by Jerk (Erik) Lassen. Kirsten Svendsdatter made her discovery on a small path near her house, initially thinking that she had stumbled upon a root. When she returned to the same place the following week, she dug up the alleged root with a stick, and mistook it for an old hunting horn. She brought it back home and began polishing it. During the polishing of it, a small piece broke off, which she brought to a goldsmith in Tønder. It turned out that the horn was made of pure gold, and rumors of Kirsten's find quickly spread. The horn was eventually brought to the King, Christian IV, and Kirsten was given a reward corresponding to the gold value of the horn. The king gave the horn to his son, who had a lid made for it so that he could use it as a drinking horn. An excavation of the site where the horn was found was begun immediately after, but nothing more was found - that is until 95 years later when Jerk Larsen was digging clay on his grounds - merely 25 paces from where Kirsten had found the first horn. The year was now 1734. The horn that Larsen found was a bit smaller in size and was lacking the tip, but it still weighed 3,666 kg. After the horn had been authenticated, it was sent to King Christian VI.
