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.

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 monuments recorded in this splendid work have since disappeared. Some of them appeared in the fire of Copenhagen, to which they were brought at the request of Worm himself. The book thus contains highly valuable data about missing sites in Scandinavian archaeology and is an invaluable source to anyone studying runes and runic monuments. Included in the work are Worm's three earlier, small treatises on runes, here collected for the first time and set into a systematic an scientific context, among them his 1641 treatise on the Golden Horn. 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. Both findings are now a fundamental part of Danish heritage. In 1802 the horns were stolen, and the story of this theft constitutes 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.
