¶ Second edition, lacking the genealogical plate. This is Henrik Rantzau's history of the Danish conquest of Dithmarsken in 1559. It is an important source of information on the war and on the affairs of the Duchy of Holstein. Henrik Rantzau was vice-regent of the Duchies Slesvig-Holsten. He resided at his castle in Breitenburg where he had collected a famous library. Wallenstein's soldiers, however, sacked Breitenburg in 1627 and many of his books are now found in Prague. Henrik Rantzau was a very learned man and looked after Tycho Brahe, when he was forced to leave Denmark. Thesaurus 201. Bibl. Dan. III,59. Adams R-143. BMC only the 1570 edition. Nat. Lib.
