The Carta Marina by the Swedish geographer and historian Olaus Magnus is one of the earliest accurate cartographic representations of the Scandinavian Peninsula. Drawn in Rome in 1539 by one of the most prominent Scandinavian Catholics in high ecclesiastical service, it contains details lacking in many other early maps of the region. Originally intended for his Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus (A Description of the Nordic Peoples), the map was published some fifteen years before the appearance of this monumental work.
