Vinland Map and the Tartar Relation
About the Item
The Vinland Map and the Tartar Relation. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1965. First edition third printing hardcover with dust jacket. 291 pp. A historical cartography of the Vinland Map which dated to about A.D. 1440, at least fifty years before Columbus landed in the Americas. It is a unique map of the world that shows an outline of the northeast American coast and a legend describing its discovery in about 1000 by Leif Eiriksson, the Norseman from Greenland. After this book was published in 1965 it generated an enormous amount of debate. Chemical analysis of the ink later suggested the map might be a forgery, but recent appraisals of both scientific and humanist evidence argue that it is indeed authentic.
