Went to study at the University of Paris, 1508-1515, where he in 1511 got a Master of Arts degree. During his stay in Paris he soon got the taste for writing, translating and publishing. In that time Paris was the undisputed capital of the still new Printed Press. Fiddling first with the idea of publishing a new Latin-to-Danish lexicon, which he himself wrote, to replace the way over-due 300-year-old French-made Latin compendium ("Alexanders Doktrinale") still used as standard in the schools of Denmark at that time. He personally knew it all to well. And so in 1510 he published a new Latin-Danish lexicon, called Vocabularium ad usum Dacorum.

Gesta Danorum

Soon a much larger idea formed. He wanted to re-publish the huge 300-year-old chronicle of Denmark, Gesta Danorum, made by one Saxo. Only one problem, where is the original manuscript? By that time most knowledge of this work came from a summery called Compendium Saxonis located in Chronica Jutensis, of ca. 1342. Un-doubtful this is also from where Christiern Pedersen knew of it.

Christiern Pedersen began to send letters to friends all over Denmark, to try and locate the original Saxo work. All to no avail, friend after friend, monastery after monastery, bishop after bishop could not help him. They either did not have it or did not want to release it to him. He finally himself travelled to Denmark to search though libraries and monasteries, but still could not find one. Unexpected a letter arrived from Archbishop Birger Gunnersen of Lund that said that he had found a copy in his district and it would be made available to Christiern Pedersen.
