SVART, Peder. _Ährapredikning öffwer then fordom stormechtigaste,
oöffwerwinnelige, och högloffligaste furstes och herres, H. Gostafs,
Sweriges, Göthes, Wändes etc. konungz och faders, christelige lijk._
Holmiae, 1620. 4^o.
This is the funeral oration delivered over the body of Gustavus in
Upsala Cathedral, Dec. 21, 1560, by Peder Svart, who had formerly been
preacher to the court and had been made bishop of Vesterås by Gustavus
in 1556. It is ornate and pretentious, and of little value.
SVART, Peder. _Gustaf I.'s krönika_, ed. G. E. Klemming. Stockh., 1870.
8^o.
This chronicle was begun in 1561, the year following the king's death;
and the author himself died in 1562, having brought his work down only
to the year 1533. The original MS. is in the Royal Library at Stockholm.
Svart writes in a forcible and at the same time easy style. Nor does he
lack good sense; though the work is marred throughout by a bitterness
toward popery and a total blindness to the errors of Gustavus.
SVART, Peder. _Historia om de forna Westerås stifts biscopar_, ed. A. A.
von Stiernman. Stockh., 1744. 4^o.
A history of the bishops of Vesterås, running to 1534.
TOXITES, Michael. _Epicedion sereniss. ac potentiss. principis, ac D. D.
Gostaui, Suecorum, Gothorum, atq: Vandalorum regis._
A copy of this rare little book is preserved in the British Museum. It
contains eight quarto pages without pagination, and is without date or
place of publication, though it is believed to have been printed in
Stockholm in 1561. It is a mere eulogy of Gustavus in Latin verse, and
is addressed to King Erik XIV.
GRIP, Birger Nilsson. _Calendarium Hammarstadense._ [In _Scriptores
rerum Suecicarum_, vol. i. sect. 1, pp. 237-239.]
This is a short calendar of the births and deaths of some eminent
persons arranged in the order of the days of the year. The compiler was
born about 1490, and died in 1565. He was a Cabinet member, and a warm
supporter of Gustavus Vasa, whose niece he married.
