Illustrated throughout, including with a folding The first edition of this work. A very scarce work. In the original Latin. Two volumes in one, containing 'Danicorum Monumentorum Libri Sex', published in 1643, and 'Regum Daniae', published in 1642. This work is a quarto. The signatures run as a-c4, A-Z4, Aa-Zz4, Aaa-Xxx4, Yyy3, *6, A-D4, E2. Illustrated with a folding plate, and one-hundred and forty-eight in-text woodcuts. Text in Latin with quotations and examples in Runic, Danish and Greek. Includes index. With an engraved allegorical title to 'Danicorum Monumentorum'. Pages 1, and 28-9 of 'Reum Daniae' printed in red and black. 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.
