Exceedingly rare second Danish translation of Gerhard’s “Meditationes”, first translated into Danish in 1614. Until recently it was believed only the first translation and a second in 1737 was published (also stated in Ehrencron-Müller and Bibliotheca Danica). This present 1675-edition, printed in Lund by Jørgen Schrøder, is one of the few Danish books produced in Scania after the cession to Sweden in 1658. Schrøder operating from Bishop Peder Vinstrup’s press at Värpinge outside Lund, became the sole printer in the city when the Scanian War broke out that year and his rival Vitus Haberegger fled to Malmö. At Vinstrup’s likely instigation, Schrøder issued this Danish translation of Johann Gerhard’s Meditationes, the first since the now-unobtainable 1614 edition. (Tunold, S. Nyfundne eldre Danica i Oslo, 1963, p. 38). OCLC only list two copies. Not in Biblioteca Danica nor Ehrencron-Müller.
