[edit] Summary

Description Dimensions: 27.8 by 41.0 centimeters (10.9 by 16.1 inches)
English: The Vinland map / chart is purportedly a 15th century Mappa Mundi, redrawn from a 13th century original. Drawn with black ink on animal skin, if authentic the map is the first known depiction of the North American coastline, created before Columbus' 1492 voyage. The upper left caption reads: “By God's will, after a long voyage from the island of Greenland to the south toward the most distant remaining parts of the western ocean sea, sailing southward amidst the ice, the companions Bjarni and Leif riksson discovered a new land, extremely fertile and even having vines, ... which island they named Vinland.” Most scholars and scientists who have studied the map have concluded that it is a fake, probably drawn on old parchment in the 20th century.
Deutsch: Die Vinland Mappe / Karte ist angeblich ein 15. Jahrhundert Mappa Mundi, neu gezeichnet von einem 13. Jahrhundert Original. Drawn mit schwarzer Tinte auf Tierhaut, verbindlich, wenn die Karte ist die erste bekannte Darstellung des nordamerikanischen Küste, die vor Kolumbus' Reise 1492. Im linken oberen Bildunterschrift lautet: "Mit Gottes Willen, nach einer langen Reise von der Insel Grönland nach Süden in Richtung der am weitesten entfernten übrigen Teile des westlichen Ozean Meer, Segeln nach Süden, mitten in das Eis, die Gefährten Bjarni und Leif Erikssohn entdeckt eine neue Land, äußerst fruchtbar und sogar mit Reben, die sie Insel namens Vinland. "Die meisten Gelehrten und Wissenschaftler, die das studiert haben, die Karte zum Schluss kommen, dass es sich um eine Fälschung, wahrscheinlich auf alten Pergament gezeichnet im 20. Jahrhundert.
Français : La carte du Vinland est une carte datant peut-être du XVe siècle, et reprenant un original du XIIIe siècle. Tracée à l'encre noire sur du parchemin, cette carte est la première carte connue montrant la côte de L'Amérique du Nord, et est plus ancienne que le voyage de Christophe Collomb (1492). La légende en haut à gauche se lit “Par la volonté de Dieu et après un long voyage depuis l'île du Groenland vers les parts les plus lointaines de la mer océane de l'ouest, naviguant au sud au milieu des glaces, les compagnons Bjarni et Leif Eiriksson découvrirent une nouvelle terre, très fertile et portant de la vigne [...] ils la nommèrent Vinland.” La plupart des études au sujet de cette carte suggèrent qu'elle est truquée, dessinée au 20me siècle sur deux feuilles de parchemin anciennes.
