"After publishing his translation of Saxo Grammaticus, Vedel was asked to continue saxo's work and to bring the study of Denmark down to his own time. There were disagreements about how thorough this history should be and which language should be used, Danish or Latin. The project was then given with Vedel's notes to another historian, who accomplished little, and finally to Arild Huitfeldt. Huitfeldt worked quickly, from 1595 to 1603, providing nine volumes of Danish history from King Dan I down to 1559 and the reign of Christian III. He published the ninth volume first (1595)... In 1604 he added a tenth volume, a chronicle of Danish bishops. Huitfeldt had hoped to create a more carefully written version of hist history, but he died before he had the chance. Although roughj in some places, this work provides an invaluable source of information not otherwise available. For example it contains the text of original documents, letters, and description of laws." (Houghton Library, Danish Literature, 1986).
