This little work, containing only twelve pages, bears no date or place of publication on the titlepage, but at the end is dated at Surcöping, 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 fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries. STEGMANN, Bernt. _Hanseatische Chronik._ [In _Scriptores rerum Prussicarum_, ed. T. Hirsch, M. Töppen, and E. Strehlke. Leipz., 1861-1874. 5 vols. 8^o. vol. v. pp. 492-528.] This chronicle runs to the year 1525. It was probably collected by Stegmann, a Dantzic burgher of the time of Gustavus, but it seems not to have been written by him. It is in Low German. Pages 517-528 give the story of Christiern's cruelties in Sweden, which the writer denounces in unmeasured terms. ZIEGLER, Jacob. _Crudelitas Christierni Secundi._ [In _Scriptores rerum Suecicarum_, vol. iii. sect. 1, pp. 71-77.] This description of the carnage of 1520 was written at some period between that year and 1531. _Chronicon episcoporum Arosiensium._ [In _Scriptores rerum Suecicarum_, vol. iii. sect. 2, pp. 120-128.] This consists of some extracts made by Peder Svart from a rhythmic Latin chronicle of an unknown author. It runs to 1534. ELIESEN, Povel. _Chronicon Skibyensis._ [In _Scriptorum rerum Danicarum medii aeui_, ed. J. Langebek. Hafniae, 1772-1878. 9 vols. f^o. vol. ii. pp. 554-602.] This chronicle was written by Eliesen in the years 1519-1534, closing abruptly with the year 1534, though it has been continued by a later hand to the year 1555. The MS. was found in 1650, in the church at Skiby in Seeland. Eliesen was a Danish priest, a Catholic, and a vehement opponent of Christiern II. PETRI, Olaus. _Svenska krönika_, ed. G. E. Klemming. Stockh., 1860. 8^o. Born in 1497; died in 1552. Called the Luther of Sweden. Was a man of determined character, great eloquence, and common sense. He wrote in a strong, pure style, and with a critical judgment. His _Svenska krönika_ is the first history of Sweden written in modern Swedish. It was completed in 1534, but runs only to the year 1521. It awoke the hostility of Gustavus because of its leniency to the old bishops and clergy.
