The erudite Swedish [[Olaus Magnus]] in his ''[[A Description of the Northern Peoples|Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus]]'' (1555) also provides a chapter on "demons in the mines".<ref name="olaus"/><ref name="olaus-eng"/> Although Olaus uses the term "demon" ({{lang|la|daemon}}) and not the uninvented coinage "gnome", the accompanying woodcut he provided (cf. Fig. right) has been represented as "gnome" in modern reference sources.<ref name="ebo"/><ref name="rand2019"/>{{Refn|Olaus appears to be quoting Munsterus (Münster), identified as author of ''Cosmographia'',<ref name="burton-anatomy1621"/> i.e., [[Sebastian Münster]] the cartographer. He names Agricola apparently as an additional authority for confirmation. But much material found in Olaus are actually to be found in Agricola, as explained in several notes above.}}
