Warmholtz Bibliotheca historica Sueo-Gothica 2497, the note, for the first work. Earlier editions of "Rerum Germanicarum" had been published in Basel 1548 och Köln 1574. Albert Krantz (1448-1517) was a learned German historian who published several chronicles on the history of Scandinavia and the Germanic territories in the spirit of Adam of Bremen. His works was read by among others Olaus Magnus, who refers to them in his own writings. The historian Matti Klinge has shown how Krantz's view that the Vandals of antiquity and the Swedish Wends were the same people influenced Gustav I of Sweden to add the King of Wends and Vandals to his title in an effort to strengthen his own legitimacy. Some of Krantz's chronicles were continued by David Chytraeus (1530-1600), a disciple of Luther, theologian and historian.
