COPENHAGEN (Peter Nørvig)  1719

A DELUXE AND PROVENANCED COPY OF 



«NORRIGES KONGERS HISTORIE» INCLUDING 

THE ICON NORWAY MAP BY RAMUS KNOWN 

IN A HANDFUL COPIES ONLY. 

Jonas Ramus (Romsdalen 1649 – Norderhov 1718) 

was vicar at Norderhov from 1690 but also historian 

and married to Anna Colbjørnsen. Among his 

published books «Nori Regnum – Norvegia Antiqva & 

Ethnica»  (1689), «Guds Rige blandt Verdens Riger» 

(1702),  «Ulyssem et Outinum»  (1702, 1713 og 1716),  



«Norges Beskrivelse»  (1715 later edition 1735), «Norges Kongers Historie» was published posthumly in 1719. The 

normal size of this title is approximatly 20,5x16,5cm compared with this unique large paper copy 29x18,5cm. Very few 

copies were apparently accompanied by a folded engraved map «Delineatio Norwegiæ Novissima» as most book copies 

known are missing the map and loose copies of the map never appear on the market. In Ginsberg entry 15 the map is 

marked with «unobtainable»

There are three members of the Ramus family dealing with map production and their works are the first serious 

Norwegian attempts in the mapping of Norway. Melchior Ramus, Jonas’ brother was commissioned by king Christian V 

in making maps of Norway. Five manuscript maps were finnished in 1692 and the intention was to print them from copper 

plates.  However the project was cancelled upon Melchior’s death the year after. Together with Melchior’s son Joachim 

Frederik Ramus (Jonas foster son as well) Jonas compiled a manuscript map of Norway between 1700 and 1710, now 

disappeared. Probably the base for the printed «Delineatio Norwegiæ Novissima» it was compiled based on other sources 

than the previous maps by Melchior Ramus. The Norwegian cartographer O.A. Wangensteen is the author of a manuscript 

map with the date 1753 (Gunnerusbiblioteket, Trondheim). It is claimed that this map is based on Jonas and Joachim 

Frederik Ramus as it is supposed Wangensteen did not know the works by Melchior Ramus. 

The printed map was already in its time exceedingly rare. There are some comments from two famous Norwegian 18th 

century historian available explaining this: Erich Johan Jessen-Schardebøll wrote in 1763: «Det er synd, at vi har så få av 



dette vakre kartet, det er overraskende at under søkningen etter det, det er vanskelig å finne mennesker som har hørt om 

det...» and Gerhard Schønning has quoted: «Kartet over Norge, som er et vedlegg til J. Rami «Norges Kongers Historie» 

har nå blitt meget sjeldent». Only one other copy with the map is previously known on the market (Damms Antikvariat 

1968). Only a few copies in institutions are recorded (one in the National Library of Norway). The map is folded in a 

way assuming it was originally bound in a regular copy together with the «Errata leaf», this special large paper copy was 

probably printed without the latter and the map. 

BOOK AND MAP IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
