[Untitled][edit]

The current image of the map seems to be composed of several versions of the map. May one comment on this? --Abdull 11:38, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The second link in sources (Minnesota university, why does it say Michigan???) says that "Many reproductions have been made of the map, including the one reproduced here, which is a facsimile made in 1949 in Sweden; this copy was handcolored in Norway." But the map was purchased by Uppsala University only in 1962, and in Sweden facsimile were made only in 1975, 1986, and 1997.

"The map is a result of very hard work and it took twelve years to finish." ... what the hell is this, second grade? hack 00:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it probably refers to the point that there were most likely no maps of northern europe at the time; so compiling one from scratch, taking into account every island and landmass, should be quite hard.--Wunderbear 07:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in mind, too, that the map is comprised of nine separate, rather large woodcuts. I note, though, that the dimensions seem to reversed. The page states that the dimensions are 1.7 high by 1.25 meters wide, and it certainly looks to my eyes that it is actually 1.25 meters high, and 1.7 meters wide.ÞorsHammer 11:09, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe hack is referring to the state of the article's prose rather than that of the map itself. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 13:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and I have to agree with hack’s assessment of the poor quality of writing in this article; I will give the original contributor the benefit of the doubt, and assume it was written by a non-native speaker. Never the less, I'm surprised this made it as a feature article without someone catching this first. I would edit it, but I'm not quite sure whose "12 years of hard work" to attribute this to; is it all Olaus Magnus's work? - Froese 17:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, it's not a feature article. The image of the map itself, which coincidentally happens to have an article about it, was the feature. GeeJo ^(t)⁄_(c) • 02:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It now says the map was made "c. 1980" which cannot be right...78.29.242.133 (talk) 09:20, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Earlist map of Scandinavia ?[edit]

Only two earlier maps of Scandinavia (or Schondia) are known, those of Ziegler and Clavus. What about Ptolemy's world map, it is known to have depicted Denmark and Skandia ? Lklundin 22:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Additional ?[edit]

The two references provided in this section would be more useful if they were used as actual references in the article.

Secondly, since the first reference is actually to a book, it would be better to reference it as such using the book citation template with the web-page added as a convenience link. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lklundin (talk • contribs) 15:59, 29 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]
