Daily Life in the Nordic Countries in the Sixteenth Century is a Danish book that was first published in 14 parts in the period from 1879 to 1901. It describes in a colorful way most of the conditions of everyday life during the Nordic Renaissance . The author was the historian Troels Frederik Troels-Lund (1840–1921). The author's original intention was that the content should be part of a work titled Danmarks og Norges Historie i Slutningen af det sekstende Aarhundrede . Describing daily life was a new phenomenon in historical research , which had traditionally only been the concern of state institutions. The fact that Troels-Lund was criticized for a lack of accuracy with certain details does not overshadow his pioneering efforts in the field of cultural history . Most factual errors were also corrected in the second edition. The first editions of the work quickly sold out, and the later popular editions came in four editions, each in a print run of 10,000.
This beautiful set is from the 1920's edition. The presentation is wonderful with leather and gilt spies. The marbled boards are in very good condition. This set is exceptionally rare.
