Carolus Linnaeus included kraken as cephalopods with the scientific name Microcosmus in the first edition of his Systema Naturae (1735); but not the story, Erik Pontoppidan, bishop of Bergen, in his "Natural History of Norway" (Copenhagen, 1752-3) did more, but even before them there were accounts in Icelandic sagas and sea stories.
