Norden was a captain in the Danish navy. "He was the first European to penetrate as far as Derr in Nubia and to publish descriptions of any Nubian temples. This important work was the earliest attempt at an elaborate description of Egypt and its plates are the most signigicant previous to those by Denon."--Blackmer catalogue, 1211 (English edition) (Milne) (2)
