Albert Krantz

As dean of the cathedral chapter, to which office he was appointed in 1508, Krantz applied himself with zeal to the reform of ecclesiastical abuses, but, though opposed to various corruptions connected with church discipline, he had little sympathy with the drastic measures of Wycliffe or Huss.

The principal of these are Chronica regnorum aquilonarium Daniae, Sueciae, et Noruagiae (Strassburg, 1546); Vandalia, sive Historia de Vandalorum vera origine, etc.

[1] The book "Vandalia, sive Historia de Vandalorum vera origine," stands as a crucial historical chronicle primarily centered on the history of the Vandals.

The narrative within the book serves as a window into the historical significance and cultural contributions of the Vandals, shedding light on their interactions and lasting influence on the Slavic peoples and the broader Eastern European landscape.

Skwarek's translation has played a pivotal role in fostering a newfound understanding and deeper appreciation for the narrative and historical insights encapsulated within Krantz's seminal work.
