ion of Svart's chronicle to 1560, a
chronicle of Erik XIV., and a compilation of the early Swedish
chronicles from 1362 to 1522. Of these the chief is the continuation of
Svart, which includes also Svart's chronicle slightly altered, and the
whole of it was long supposed to be Ludvigsson's own work, though the
name was erroneously spelt Rasmus Carlsson. The original MS. of this
continuation of Svart is in the University Library at Upsala. The MSS.
of Ludvigsson's other works are in the Royal Library at Stockholm.

KARL IX. _Rim-chroenika_, ed. B. Bergius. Stockh., 1759. 4^o.

This is a metrical chronicle, written by one of the sons of Gustavus
Vasa, and containing one or two references to Gustavus.

B. _Letters, Treaties, and other Documents._

The contemporary documents bearing on the Swedish Revolution number
several thousand. Nearly all of these have now been printed except
the following collections:--

_Gustaf I.'s registratur._

This consists of thirty-one MS. folios containing copies of the letters
written by Gustavus throughout his reign, and is preserved in the Royal
Archives at Stockholm. The letters are arranged in chronological order,
each folio as a rule embracing the letters of a year. Nearly all the
folios were compiled by the king's secretary in the course of the year
which they represent, though some of them were not compiled till 1600 or
even later; and portions of the contemporary folios, left incomplete at
the time, are filled out by a later hand. Besides this collection, the
_Registratur_ originally embraced fifteen folios of the king's letters
to foreign powers, and some folios of his letters on the crown estates;
but these are lost. The thirty-first volume of the extant portion of the
_Registratur_ does not properly belong there, being a transcription of
Claes Christersson's letters to Gustavus in 1558-1561. Of the
_Registratur_, ten volumes have now been published, extending through
the year 1535.

_Gustaf I.'s acta historica._

This is the name given to nine bundles of MSS., chiefly originals, in
the Royal Archives at Stockholm, bearing on the reign of Gustavus Vasa.
Many of them are found transcribed in the _Registratur_. Some, not so
transcribed, have been published in the already printed volumes of the
_Registratur_, as supplements, and in the _Svenska riksdagsakter_ edited
by Hildebrand and Alin.

_Gustaf I.'s bref med bilagor._

This is the name given to three bund
