Suecicarum_, vol. i. sect. 1, pp. 99-229.]

A long chronology of Church affairs, chiefly relating to the monastery

_Maerkvaerdige haendelser i Sverige ifran 1220 till 1552._ [In _Scriptores
rerum Suecicarum_, vol. i. sect. 1, pp. 90-91.]

A very short chronology of general events in Sweden, by an unknown
author, written in the sixteenth century.

MAGNI, Johannes. _De omnibus Gothorum Sueonumque regibus qui unquam ab
initio nationis extitere, eorumque memorabilibus bellis late uarieque
per orbem gestis, opera Olai Magni Gothi fratris eiusdem autoris ac
etiam archiepiscopi Upsalensis in lucem edita._ Romae, 1554. 4^o.

The author, the last Roman Catholic archbishop of Sweden, was born in
1488 and died in 1544. The work is edited by his brother, Olaus Magni.
It runs to the year 1520. The writer lacks critical judgment, and his
work abounds in errors. He writes as one who, though wronged, is
unwilling to complain; yet he hints that later generations may not think
so highly of Gustavus as those living at the time.

MAGNI, Olaus. _Historia de gentibus Septentrionalibus, earumque diuersis

uniuersis pene animalibus in Septentrione degentibus, eorumque natura._
Romae, 1555. 6^o.

Author was a brother of Archbishop Johannes Magni. Born in 1490,
travelled through the northern portions of Scandinavia in 1518 and 1519
on a papal mission. As a canon of Upsala and Linkoeping was employed by
Gustavus Vasa in several missions, being sent to Rome in 1523 to obtain
papal confirmation of his brother's election to the archbishopric. After
his brother's disgrace he followed him, as his secretary, to Rome, and
at his brother's death was appointed archbishop of Upsala by the pope,
but never attempted to assert his right. Died in Rome in 1558. He was a
man of remarkable memory, and possessed strong powers of observation;
but he lacked his brother's even temper. His _Hist. de gent. Sept._ is
one of the most singular books ever written. It is an encyclopaedia of
Sweden in the sixteenth century; and though filled
