_B._ This is near where Vineland lies, which from its abundance of useful things, or from the land’s fruitfulness, is called Good. Our countrymen (Icelanders) have thought that to the south it ends with the wild sea and that a sound or fjord separates it from America. _C._ This land is called Rüseland or land of the giants, as they have horns and are called Skrickfinna (Fins that frighten). _D._ This is more to the east, and the people are called Klofinna (Fins with claws) on account of their large nails. _E._ This is Jotunheimer, or the home of the misshapen giants. _F._ Here is thought to be a fjord, or sound, leading to Russia. _G._ A rocky land often referred to in histories. _H._ What island that is I do not know, unless it be the island that a Venetian found, and the Germans call Friesland.” It will be observed under the _B_ of the Key, the Norse of 1570 did not identify the Vinland of 1000 with the America of later discoveries. This map is much the same, but differs somewhat in detail, from the one called of Stephanius, as produced in Kohl’s _Discovery of Maine_, p. 107, professedly after a copy given in Torfæus’ _Gronlandia Antiqua_ (1706). Torfæus quotes Theodorus Torlacius, the Icelandic historian, as saying that Stephanius appears to have drawn his map from ancient Icelandic records. The other maps given by Torfæus are: by Bishop Gudbrand Thorlakssen (1606); by Jonas Gudmund (1640); by Theodor Thorlakssen (1666), and by Torfæus himself. Cf. other copies of the map of Stephanius in Malte-Brun’s _Annales des Voyages, Weise’s Discoveries of America_, p. 22; _Geog. Tidskrift_, viii. 123, and in Horsford’s _Disc. of America by Northmen_, p. 37.] It is not necessary to follow the course of the Greenland cartography farther with any minuteness. As the sixteenth century ended we have leading maps by Hakluyt in 1587 and 1599 (see Vol. III. 42), and De Bry in 1596 (Vol. IV. 99), and Wytfliet in 1597, all of which give Davis’s Straits with more or less precision. Barentz’s map of 1598 became the exemplar of the circumpolar chart in Pontanus’ _Rerum et Urbis Amstelodamensium Historia_ of 1611.[781] The chart of Luke Fox, in 1635, marked progress[782] better than that of La Peyrère (1647), though his map was better known.[783] Even as late as 1727, Hermann Moll could not identify his “Greenland” with “Groenland.” In 1741, we have the map of Hans Egede in his “Grönland,” repeated in late editions, and the old delineation of the east coast after Torfæus was still retained in the 1788 map of Paul Egede.
