Hafnia Hodierna
''Hafnia Hodierna, Eller Udførlig Beskrivelse om den Kongelige Residentz- og Hoved-Stad Kiøbenhavn'' (English: ''Hafnia Hodierna, Or Detailed Description of the Royal Residence and Capital City Copenhagen'') is an line engraving, engraved architectural work on Copenhagen, published by the Danish architect Lauritz de Thurah in 1748. Profusely illustrated throughout, it is a valuable source of knowledge as to the appearance of Copenhagen in the middle of the 18th century. It complements, with some overlap, de Thurah's other major work ''Den Danske Vitruvius'', which focuses primarily on surrounding areas (such as Fredensborg), as well as the rest of Denmark. In 1967, Rosenkilde & Bagger published a facsimile edition, edited by Svend Cedergreen Bech. ''Hafnia (other), Hafnia hodiernal, Hodierna'' is Latin for "Copenhagen of today".

18th-century Danish Newspaper Publishers (people)
The 18th century lasted from January 1, 1701 ( MDCCI) to December 31, 1800 ( MDCCC). During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. During the century, slave trading and human trafficking expanded across the shores of the Atlantic, while declining in Russia, China, and Korea. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and aristocratic power structures, including the structures and beliefs that supported slavery. The Industrial Revolution began during mid-century, leading to radical changes in human society and the environment. Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work. For example, the "short" 18th century may be defined as 1715–1789, denoting the period of time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolution, with an emphasis on directly interconnected events.
