First edition of Philipp Clüver?s (1580-1622) large work on Germania and the Germans in antiquity. For this work, which goes far beyond a topographical description of ancient Europe, Clüver (or Cluverius) was awarded the 'Geographus Academicus' and became professor at the university of Leyden. A second edition was published in 1631. It begins with a poem to Clüver by Daniel Heinsius followed by Tacitus? ?Liber de Germania? in Lipsius? textedition. From a Swedish point of view, Georg Stiernhielm wrote ?Anticluverius?, published in Stockholm by Hadorph in 1685, against it and its thesis that the origin of the Goths was to be found - not in Sweden - but in northern Germany.
