The Vinland Map

Extract

The January issue of the Journal (pp. 124–5) contained a summary of Professor E. G. R. Taylor's views on the Vinland Map. To the courtesy of the Editor I owe the opportunity both to read this note in proof and to comment on it in the present issue. I have not seen Professor Taylor's complete study nor her drawings. She expressed some of her misgivings to me in correspondence after (in 1962) seeing a photocopy of the map and reading in typescript my study of the map, which is included in the recently published monograph.
