Marie Jaros @mariejaros.bsky.social · 18/08/2025I finally made it to Olaus Magnus's Carta Marina. The map was printed in Rome in 1539 while Olaus Magnus, the Archbishop of Uppsala, was in his exile there. 1/10 2275
Paul Söderlind @paulsoderlind.bsky.social · 18/08/2025Nice thread. Just adding a detail: I believe his brother was archbishop when they left Sweden around the time of the reformation (a little before, I think). Upon his brother's passing, 20 years later, he was appointed archbishop in exile. 120
Marie Jaros @mariejaros.bsky.social · 18/08/2025The Carta Marina is on display at the University Library of #Uppsala (Carolina Rediviva). It is the first map of the Nordic countries to include details and place names - and it features some magnificent #whales! 2/10 160
