I told you all which map he has been working from: the map which Nicholas
normally called Nicholas of Thingeyre had drawn after carthographing Vinland
1121-1124. I guess he used the copy handed to the Pope which up to 1939
existed in Villa Medici. Where it is now I don't know. Some say that it was
moved to an underground archieve in the Vatican State during WWII.
