1828. 2 vols. f^o. vol. iii., ed. C. Annerstedt. Upsal., 1871-1876. f^o. sect. 1, pp. 339-340.] The author was born in 1502, and died in 1518. His chronicle contains a few allusions to events in Sweden from 1507 to 1515. FERBER, Eberhard. _Chronicon Gedanensis._ [In _Scriptores rerum Suecicarum_, vol. iii. sect. 1, pp. 340-341.] Author died in 1529. A few statements in his chronicle refer to the expedition of Christiern II. against Sweden in 1518. _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. KOCK, Reimarus. _Chronicon Lubecensis._ [In _Scriptores rerum Suecicarum_, vol. iii. sect. 1, pp. 239-274.] 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. _Proelia inter Suecos et Danos annis 1452-1524._ [In _Scriptores rerum Suecicarum_, vol. iii. sect. 1, pp. 33-34.] A short list of battles believed to have been composed by Spegelberg, the secretary of Bishop Brask, about the year 1524. _Diarium Minoritarum Visbyensium ab anno 686 ad annum 1525._ [In _Scriptores rerum Suecicarum_, vol. i. sect. 1, pp. 32-39.] A meagre chronicle of events in Visby, composed by various unknown hands in the four
