Hans Svaning Book

*** Danish contribution to the Danish-Swedish historian feud of the 16th century. The book was written by Hans Svaning in response to the charges made by the Swedish prelate and historian Johannes Magnus in the work "Historia de omnibus Gothorum" in 1554. Originally, Svaning's name was on the title page, but when the Danish government feared to come to stand in an unfortunate international light - these books were read about - the sheet of title was reprinted and bearing the name of the recently deceased Professor Rosefontanus and bearing the year of publication 1560. Should these maneuvers have served the cause of peace, they were at least in vain: The Nordic Seven Year War was already underway when the book was published.
