Soft cover. Etat : As New. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Our first offering in this lot, "Drawing the Line," a trade paperback "First Edition -- 1995," deals with gerrymandering and continental drift, and offers a lengthy discussion of the controversy surrounding Yale's supposedly medieval "Vinland Map."' Symmetrical number line 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2. The publishers contend they remove BOTH the numeral 1 and the "First Edition" statement from a second printing -- they're obviously wrong, and we conclude this is a first (trade paperback) printing. Geography. 368 pp. including Index. Reduced from $12. OUR SECOND OFFERING, here, is a "good" 1966 Yale University hardcover in a "good" dust jacket. "The Vinland Map and the Tartar Relation" states "Fourth printing April, 1966." (First was 1965.) A "good" quarto with a 5/8-inch rough spot to bottom corner of front board (possible kitten chew) in a "good" price-clipped dust jacket which is chipped to edges. Fold-out maps intact. Though they are later copies of much earlier originals, these maps (circa 1440) are cartographic evidence that distant lands -- including North America -- were known to at least some Europeans far earlier than imagined, the authors conclude. But controversy arose immediately upon publication of this effort -- issued essentially simultaneous with the announcement that alumnus Paul Mellon had purchased the map for a reported $300,000 for donation to the university -- and by 2019 specialists at Yale, where it is still held, declared that the latest scientific and historical research has established the "Vinland Map" to be a modern forgery. 291 pp. including index. The pair of books on related topics now reduced from $24.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. First Edition. Nice 1st edition hardback with dust jacket, and full number line. Has prior owner's information written inside front cover, and an inscription on front end paper. Is also embossed (sealed like a notary seals a document) with the prior owner'??s initials on a few pages. Does not affect the reading of the text, or the appearance of the book as the embossing is the color of the paper. Also a couple of small tears on edges of dust jacket. Overall, a good readable usable copy!

D. 1440 - at least fifty years before Columbus landed in the Americas - 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. The map was published by Yale University Press in 1965 and generated an enormous amount of debate. Chemical analysis of the ink later suggested that the map might be a forgery, but recent appraisals of both scientific and humanist evidence argue that it is indeed authentic. Now, on the thirtieth anniversary of its original publication, here is this classic of historical cartography in a new edition. It reprints unaltered the original text on the Vinland Map and an account of Friar John of Plano Carpini's mission to the Mongols from 1245 to 1247 (the Tartar Relation) , with which the map had at some stage been bound. To this have been added a new introduction by George D. Painter, sole survivor of the original team of editors, who discusses the verification of the map's authenticity; a new essay by Wilcomb E. Washburn, director of the Smithsonian's American Studies Program, on the map's provenance and scientific testing; and a new discussion of the map's compositional and structural aspects by Thomas A. Cahill and Bruce H. Kusko, of the Crocker Historical and Archaeological Projects at the University of California, Davis. There is also an account by the rare-book dealer Laurence C. Witten II, who died while this new edition was in preparation, of his acquisition of the map in 1957.' The text of the Tartar relation is in Latin; the facsimile is accompanied by a transcription of the Latin text with English translation on facing pages. Index. Oversized/4#.
