First edition of this collection of letters by, to and on Christina of Sweden, list of commemorative medals, lists of correspondents, ect. Johan Arckenholtz (1695-1777), for twenty years librarian to the landgrave of Hessen-Cassel, was appointed historiographer to the Swedish king in 1666. “Christina (born Dec. 8, 1626, Stockholm, Swed.—died April 19, 1689, Rome [Italy]) was the queen of Sweden (1644–54) who stunned all Europe by abdicating her throne. She subsequently attempted, without success, to gain the crowns of Naples and of Poland. One of the wittiest and most learned women of her age, Christina is best remembered for her lavish sponsorship of the arts and her influence on European culture.” (Encyclopedia Britannica). Pope Alexander VII described Christina as ""a queen without a realm, a Christian without faith, and a woman without shame.""
