Olaus Magnus (i.e. Olof Mansson Stor)Historia delle genti et della natura delle cose settentrionali, da Olao Magno Gotho Arcivescovo di Upsala nel Regno di Suezia e Gozia, descritta in XXII Libri. Nuovamente tradotta in lingua Toscana. Venedig: Giunti, 1565. Fol. (25), 286 Bl., Holzschnittillustr., Karte von Skandinavien Bl. C6v, Verlegersignet der Giunti Bl. 286v. Pgt. d. Zt. mit hs. RTit. In mod. Kartonkassette. - Sehr gut erhalten.
Enzyklopädisches Standardwerk der schwedischen Historiographie und lange Zeit für alle Fragen der skandinavischen Landeskunde die Autorität für das übrige Europa und als solche auch von Autoren wie Sebastian Münster oder Conrad Gessner genutzt. Der Titularbischof von Uppsala verfasste sein monumentales Opus, das als ausführlicher Kommentar seiner 1539 in Venedig publizierten Skandinavienkarte (Carta marina) konzipiert wurde, im römischen Exil nach seiner Emigration aus Schweden. Die überreich mit Holzschnittillustrationen ausgestattete Erstausgabe erschien 1555 in Rom bei Viotti und wurde, in verkürzter Version, 1558 von Plantin in Antwerpen und 1567 in Basel von Henricpetri nachgedruckt; eine französische Version erschien 1561 (Paris: Martin le Jeune), der vorliegenden italienischen Übersetzung, für die wohl die römischen Originalholzstöcke verwendet wurden, folgten, ebenfalls als Epitomae, 1567 eine deutsche, 1658 die englische und 1665 die holländische Ausgaben.
