Summary

THE very interesting manuscript Chart, to which we have several times alluded under the name of “the Stockholm Chart”, is, as already stated, now preserved in the Royal Library at Stockholm, to which place it has, no doubt, been taken from Denmark. The earliest mention of it, as far as we are aware, occurs in a list of Danish historical manuscripts preserved in the Library just mentioned, written by the late Professor C. Molbech, of Copenhagen; but it was another Danish writer. Dr. J. K. V. Steenstrup, who first drew attention to it, and pointed out the interest attaching to it, in an article in the Swedish periodical Ymer, which is accompanied by a good, though somewhat reduced, reproduction. We have had no opportunity of personally inspecting it, but by the courtesy of Count Snollsky, the Principal Librarian of the Royal Library at Stockholm, and the kind assistance of Dr. Wieselgren, Sub-Librarian, we are enabled to lay before our readers a full-size photo-lithographic reproduction, which we have every reason to consider satisfactory. To this, therefore, we may refer instead of a detailed description. There are, however, a few points which cannot be ascertained from our copy, and with regard to which we are indebted for information to the article of Dr. Steenstrup, supplemented by communications from Dr. Wieselgren. The Chart is drawn on paper, the watermark of which represents a bunch of grapes.
