Notes Geist and cartographer. Parents: Professor Claus Lauridsen Scavenius (about 1515-1590) and (probably) his 2nd wife Kirstine (died after 1615). Married to Marthe (el. Mette) Ditlefsdatter Fox (el. Fos) (dead after 1639), daughter of Ditlev, lives in Køge.

The Stavanger bishop Laurids Scavenius appears as a practical man who provided the order and overview of his poem. He became a pioneer through his map and his landlord.

Scavenius was a professor's son from Copenhagen. He studied in, among other things, Copenhagen and Rostock, in recent years with royal scholarship, and in 1589 he graduated from Wittenberg. He was obviously a scholar man, who even wrote poems in Hebrew.

In 1590, Scavenius became Rector at Copenhagen School and 1594 Professor Pedagogist at the University; Both positions meant Latin education. At the university he became a notary and wrote accurate papers from the consistory meetings. In 1600, he had a better position as a parish priest in Tårnby at Amager, but he still had bad advice, because there are more letters from impatient creditors.

In 1605, Scavenius became bishop of Stavanger's pole - a unanimous consensus in the consistory. He was wedded by Pentecostal Piper Vinstrup. In Stavanger he started to get an overview of his great poem, which consisted of Agder, Rogaland, Hallingdal and Valdres and thus divided into two. He made lists of income that belonged to each priesthood and prostitute; This became a landlord called "Grågås". In addition, he made a map of the foundation. The first edition of the map is lost, but it was taken into atlas in both Sweden and the Netherlands, and better maps of Stavanger stifle were not made in 150 years. At the entrance to the Hardangerfjord, the bishop wrote: "Hic incipit iter per Diocesim Bergensem in Hallingdaliam and Valdresiam" ('Here begins the journey through Bergen's pin to Hallingdal and Valdres').

Besides the annual visitas tours, Scavenius was in Oslo at Prince Christian's homage in 1610 and in Bergen on her husband's birthday in 1622, when he agreed to dismiss Trondheim's bishop Anders Arrebo after he had embraced a lively wedding. On both of these occasions, the king was present. Scavenius had close contact with Peder Claussøn Friis, who was a pro at Lista. Literature historian Francis Bull gives Scavenius the honor for the transfer of Friis' Norwegians Descriptions as the impetus for writing this work.

Otherwise, the bishop provided a new meeting for the hospital in Stavanger (1612) and for a postdoctoral position at the school. He rode a rider to Kalmarkrigen in 1611 and collected money after a fire in Bergen. The private economy was also good: He paid a personal new choir in the cathedral and gave the poor at the hospital beer for Christmas.

Scavenius was married to Marthe Ditlefsdatter Fox from Køge. In his last year of life, he had the pleasure of working with the sons of Ditlef and Claus, as they were all three in the judgment chapter, the ecclesiastical court who judged in, among other things, marriage matters.

In Copenhagen, Scavenius had a complaint against him because he had been too hard against a peasant who was living in the university; In Stavanger he raised the case against a man who had been rude to his wife and won. But most of it seems peaceful around Scavenius, unlike many of his contemporaries. The more sensational is how the Danish-Estonian historian Vello Helk has demonstrated that he was in connection with the Jesuit college in Braunsberg in East Prussia (now Braniewo in Poland). The Norwegian church historian Oskar Garstein reproduces a letter from Scavenius where he states: "Certo nunc scio, unam esse Catholicam Ecclesiam extra quam non est salus" ('Now I know that there is one Catholic church and that there is no salvation beyond it '). Ironically, the stavanger bishop 1606 received a royal letter asking for guard against Jesuits in the foundation.
