_Svenska medeltidens rim-kroenikor_, ed. G. E. Klemming. Stockh.,
1865-1868. 3 vols. 8^o.
This ancient collection of rhythmic chronicles, composed by various
unknown hands, is devoted chiefly to events occurring before the
sixteenth century; and most of the chronicles contained in it were
written before that time. Two of them, however, were written in the
monastery at Vadstena in 1520, one running through the reign of Karl
Knutsson, and the other running from 1452 to 1520. Beside these there is
a satire on Christiern II., written shortly after 1520. Although these
chronicles are little to be relied on, they are extremely valuable as
specimens of early Swedish literature.

Author born at end of fifteenth century, lived in Lubeck, and died in
1569. His chronicle runs to 1521.
_Von der grauesamen tyrannischen myssehandelung, so Kuenig Christiern, des
nam[=e]s der Ander v[=o] De[=n]marck jm reich zu Sweden beg[=a]gen
hatt._
This little work, containing only twelve pages, bears no date or place
of publication on the titlepage, but at the end is dated at Surcoeping,
Dec. 29, 1522. One copy of it is in the Royal Library at Stockholm. It
is merely a denunciation of the cruelties of Christiern II., and was
doubtless issued with a view to win friends for Gustavus Vasa in
different parts of Europe. It is written in High German, and has since
been translated and published several times in Dutch and also in
Swedish.
