Counter-statement
 
There has been a Press release in MapHist and Maps-l published by the
Multicultural Discovery Project in Honolulu. Subject:  Discovery - Irish
Settlement in America by 1350 AD.
 
In the end of this press release you will find the sentence: "His discovery
of a 1414 survey map of North America by the English friar Nicholas of Lynn,
was reported in the prestigious journal, _Cartographica Helvetica_, in January."
 
What does it mean? In the journal Cartographica Helvetica we have published
an article by Arthur Duerst about the world map by Albertin de Virga from
1411 or 1415 and not about the map of Lynn.
 
 
Sincerely
 
Thomas Kloeti
Co-Editor of Cartographica Helvetica
