Summary, in English
From a Swedish perspective, Dantiscus is an important figure for two -- very different -- reasons, namely for his correspondence with great Scandinavian contemporaries (e.g., Johan Weze, the exiled archbishop of Lund, Ioannes Magnus, the archbishop of Uppsala, his brother Olaus Magnus, and the bishop of Skara, Magnus Haraldi) and for the fact that an important part of his archives was brought to Sweden in the early 18th century (Uppsala University Library, ms. 154-155) and thus was engrafted on the Swedish branch of the tree of knowledge. The importance of this material was recognized by Eric Benzelius, who had a number of letters copied for publication.
