Book Description
The mythic creature expert and author of Phoenix takes readers through a bestiary of sea monsters featured on the famous 16th century map Carta Marina. In the sixteenth century, sea serpents, giant man-eating lobsters, and other monsters were thought to swim the waters of Norther Europe, threatening seafarers who ventured too far from shore. Thankfully, Scandinavian mariners had Olaus Magnus, who in 1539 charted these fantastic marine animals in his influential map of the Nordic countries, the Carta Marina. In Sea Monsters, mythologist Joseph Nigg brings readers face-to-face with these creatures and other magnificent components of Magnus’s map. Nearly two meters wide in total, the map’s nine wood-block panels comprise the largest and first realistic portrayal of the region. But in addition to its important geographic significance, Magnus’s map goes beyond cartography to scenes both domestic and mystic. Close to shore, Magnus shows humans interacting with common sea life—boats struggling to stay afloat, merchants trading, children swimming, and fisherman pulling lines. But from the offshore deeps rise some of the most terrifying sea creatures imaginable—like sea swine, whales as large as islands, and the Kraken. In this book, Nigg draws on Magnus’s own text to further describe and illuminate these inventive scenes and to flesh out the stories of the monsters. Sea Monsters is a stunning tour of a world that still holds many secrets for us land dwellers, who will forever be fascinated by reports of giant squid and the real-life creatures of the deep that have proven to be as bizarre and otherworldly as we have imagined for centuries. It is a gorgeous guide for enthusiasts of maps, monsters, and the mythic. “[A] beautiful new exploration of the Carta Marina.”—Wired

Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of Francis Rabelais, Vol. 1: Translated From the French Thus Rabelais, that greater Lucian of France, has been even worse used than that of Greece for though we know the old only by his writings, yet few fabulous stories wrong his memory, while that of Rabelais is so much abused by unkind Fame, that, to know him, it were perhaps better only to seek this modern Lucian, as we do the old, in the pictures which he has drawn of others, than in those which his care less or malicious painters have given us of him. However, you have here the best account I could get of him neither was it without much difficulty that, out of the ruins of time, in a kingdom where it is not easy to find many books and persons that can inform us of this author, I could get together what follows; principally if we consider how little is to be found in the late French editions of his works.
