| Notes: | Includes a facsimile reproduction of the Yale University Library manuscript that contains the Vinland map and the Tartar relation. The manuscript map and text were copied about 1440 by an unknown scribe from lost earlier originals. The world map features representations of Iceland, Greenland, and Vinland. The text is an account, written in 1247 by a friar who called himself C. de Bridia, of Giovanni del Carpine's mission to the Mongols in 1245-1247. The essays prepared for this new edition provide an account of the controversy that developed around the Vinland map following the publication of the first edition in 1965. |
