Abstract (en)

Discusses the first printing, 1514, of the early 13th c. history of Denmark and its title page with a woodcut that may include a (stylized) portrait of Christian II. Relates this first edition of Saxo's Gesta Danorum to contemporary political events, including the marriage of the Danish king to the Hapsburg princess Elisabeth. Notes that the edition was printed in Paris by Jodocus Badius Ascensius.
