's and Bartholiner's names. As a professor, he was probably the first who lectured on Danish law; a theme of his lectures, he mentions himself – besides Chronologia juris civilis a ecclesiastici and Fundamenta juris civilis a Canonici – Jurisprudentia Romano Danica or "correct knowledge of laws of both the Roman and Danish law book ", and it is known that he thought of publishing his lecture on Danish lawyer. Resen's living historical interest drew him most to the reading of the old national laws, of which he published several, so in 1675 the Norwegian hirdskrå and Danish vederlagsret with Danish and Latin translation, and later various ancient city courts (1683), Erik Krabbe's German translation of Jyske Law (1684, with a detailed preface, containing intelligence of the Dannebrog, Erik Krabbe and his family and more) and Christian II of Denmark
's laws (1684).
As he was a pioneer in the release of these old monuments, so it Resen also credited with being the first who did Snorri's Edda
and Völuspá
and Hávamál
available in printed form (1665 and 1673), all equipped with Latin translation, Edda, together with the Danish . Display of Völuspá was significantly Gudmund André's work, and the same holds good Lexicon Islandicum as Resen released in 1683. There is not much of Resen own in the great historical work of King Frederik II's Krønnike, which he published in 1680, mainly leaning on an abandoned work of Claus Christophersen Lyschander, but only the fact that he paid for such writings printed, are all honor worth. Another historical work, which still has value, is the body of Inscriptions Hafnienses, he let press in 1668 and dedicated Chancellor Peter Reedtz; it also contains intelligence about Tycho Brahe
and his presence on Hven
.
On the basis of the following incoming links, each of which has re-preserved, and its own collections drew Resen its atlas, which he also introduced a quantity of papers and letters, in Danish, and you get an idea of the immense work that was applied herein, when one hears that the material for the parade 30 folios. Moreover, he let up briefly, prospectuses in bird's eye view and other pictures that were stuck in copper or carved in wood.
Making such a voluminous work published author realized enough was insurmountable, and he had therefore in his final years John Brown Man and other make extracts therefrom in Latin for tightness. As the samples he had (in 1675 and 1677) been printed descriptions of Samsoe and Copenhagen; more unfortunately never came out, although Resen had different incentives to works published, which in 1685 was so imminent that set up a commission to review it. After his death, his widow, who, in consequence of his legacies pålå to attend atlas available, step there, as she handed master Christian Aarsleb the printing, but when she soon after died, and Aarsleb 1692 were village priest, was released to nothing.
The standard work together with most of the copper plates ended up in the Copenhagen University, with which it burned in 1728 by Copenhagen fire. Resens Derivative Work, and the many notes, in total 39 folios disappeared, but there existed a copy of Volume 7 folios as of Resen had been prepared for the press. The transcript had been made on order of Privy Vincents Lerche. After the fire Lerche realized that his copy had been invaluable, and he kept it to himself, as did his son, who inherited it. But when her son was on his deathbed, bequeathed his works to the king and was thus available to the architect Lauritz de Thurah
which itself was about to write a great work of Copenhagen. He received the transcript on loan and had even made a copy of this. King's copy burned under Christiansborg Palace fire in 1794 and only Thurah was back. This was donated to the Royal Library where it is today.
During the 1900s (from the first edition of Bornholm
's description in 1925 the last volume describing Vestsjællands towns in 1996) were mostly of the manuscript, printed in both the original Latin version and in the Danish version, in addition to the many copper panels who had survived the fire (some were lost) also appeared in separate works.
and in vain offered 100 dollars to get permission to leave the library's print catalog. From about 1659 total Resen always books; and he bought them at auction – his brother, Dr. Paul Resens library was the first to be auctioned were in Copenhagen (1661) – and he got them by writing to bishops and other scholars in Denmark, Norway
and Iceland
, for example, Jacob and Peter Bircherod Seven, and he left "a great person and scholar" go to Scania
to buy books, as he himself notes, he was insatiable in his mind when he told them not bekommen. He managed to create an extraordinarily rich collection of Danish and Norse literature, which he, together with what else he had collected, especially by foreign legal literature, gave the university library in which these subjects were slightly underrepresented; also a quantity of manuscripts found in the collection over which he in 1686 published a list bearing his curriculum vitae and portraits. But even this rare collection that neither before nor since has been his equal, perished in 1728. His grandfather significant collection of manuscripts he had also bestowed the university library. Of Copenhagen lavsskråer and other papers to the capital's history, he arranged a large manuscript collection, which is partly still exist.

Atlas Danicus
But Resens masterpiece, the way he used his most forces, and what is the general awareness especially attached to his name, his great Atlas Danicus. His intention was to give a description of Denmark, containing details of any place's history and monuments. Already in 1666 he published his first call to delete clergy to do reporting to him for use in plant production, it was as important antiques States, he had attention so, but in subsequent requests to the clergy of its assistance (in 1681 and 1686), he requested furthermore information about its physical peculiarities, its flora and fauna and so on.On the basis of the following incoming links, each of which has re-preserved, and its own collections drew Resen its atlas, which he also introduced a quantity of papers and letters, in Danish, and you get an idea of the immense work that was applied herein, when one hears that the material for the parade 30 folios. Moreover, he let up briefly, prospectuses in bird's eye view and other pictures that were stuck in copper or carved in wood.
Making such a voluminous work published author realized enough was insurmountable, and he had therefore in his final years John Brown Man and other make extracts therefrom in Latin for tightness. As the samples he had (in 1675 and 1677) been printed descriptions of Samsoe and Copenhagen; more unfortunately never came out, although Resen had different incentives to works published, which in 1685 was so imminent that set up a commission to review it.

Resens Derivative Work, and the many notes, in total 39 folios disappeared, but there existed a copy of Volume 7 folios as of Resen had been prepared for the press. The transcript had been made on order of Privy Vincents Lerche. After the fire Lerche realized that his copy had been invaluable, and he kept it to himself, as did his son, who inherited it.
