Levin & Munksgaard - Det danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab 1931. LI+609.Sider. Half cloth. Large format. OK condition. Tomus I: Textum continens. Gesta Danorum (""Deeds of the Danes"") is a patriotic work of Danish history, by the 12th century author Saxo Grammaticus (""Saxo the Literate"", literally ""the Grammarian""- ca. 1160-after 1208). One should not see the books as a compilation of pre-Christian mythology, but as an account of the glorious past of Denmark. It is the most ambitious literary undertaking of medieval Denmark and is an essential source for the nation's early history. It is also one of the oldest known written documents about the history of Estonia and Latvia. Consisting of sixteen books written in Latin on the invitation of Archbishop Absalon, Gesta Danorum describes Danish history and to some degree Scandinavian history in general, from prehistory to the late 12th century. In addition, Gesta Danorum offers singular reflections on European affairs in the High Middle Ages from a unique Scandinavian perspective, supplementing what has been handed down by historians from Western and Southern Europe. The sixteen books, in prose with an occasional excursion into poetry, can be categorized into two parts: Books 1-9, which deal with Norse mythology, and Books 10-16, which deal with medieval history.
