Inger,
Before blaming Ken Towe for anything:
Tell us what is expected from a 1430's map and why?
In this case exactly what VM show. Including the Tartar connection
btw.
You can't use the Vinland Map and the Tartar Relation together,
because they are very different!
Tow 2004 qoutes D. Baynes-Cope from the British Museum:
""The behaviour of the ink under ultra-violet light was of
particular interest. Iron compounds quench the fluorescence
induced in the background by ultra-violet light and for this
reason, faded iron gallo-tannate ink, yellowish-brown by
daylight, will appear black against a bluish or yellowish
fluorescent background under this form of lighting. The inks
used in both the Tartar Relation and the Speculum Historiale
showed this phenomenon whereas the ink used both for the
outline of the [Vinland] map itself and for the text on the leaf did
not show this phenomenon.""
Tell us where your famous 'Mappa 56' is to be seen.
This [...]
[...] location.
I know what you told us that map is (or was), but you asked
Ken Towe if he had acces to it, and AFAIK that map is
"missing". Therefore I asked you where that map can be seen.
And you gave no answer to that.
Tell us what the normal procedure for carbon ink is.
Have you [...]
[...] that time.
I know what carbon ink is, but you mentioned it in relation with the VM.
What I meant to ask was what that relation is.
And what is the significance of your remark?
Tell us what that special sand was.
The interesting thing [...]
[...]become ink-sand.
That is a description of a normal fine sand. But why did you bring it
again in relation with the VM? What is the significance?
In other words: please, state your case.
That I did several years ago. Only a short variant here.
Ken Towe asked:
"" I would like those who regard the VM as an authentic
medieval document to answer my question ...If the map
is really medieval, what is a PLAUSIBLE explanation for
the appearance AND composition of the inks that is
consistent with the age of the parchment? ""
Maybe you did several years ago, but that is of no use now.
And here you didn't 'state your case', not even a short variant.
It is not enough to mention a map, ink and sand. You have to
tell what their relevance is and why they make the VM genuine.
