The Historia must be used carefully, as some of the text is simply reprinted from older writers, a
not uncommon practice in the sixteenth century. The Historia is very special because it gives the author’s own experiences
in addition to what he has read, providing a view of Scandinavia
in the sixteenth century not available anywhere else. It is indispensable
for understanding the map.
