Talk:Hunt–Lenox Globe

Photograph, please
A photo would be nice (as noted above), especially since the two External Links to www.henry-davis.com, Description of the Lenox Globe and Photo of the Lenox Globe, seem to be broken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.142.140 (talk) 11:24, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Ref to Marco Polo's book may need a change
I ve found it in the beginning of chapter 10, not 17:

https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Travels_of_Marco_Polo/Book_3/Chapter_10

Maybe it s not the same book?! Hexagone59 (talk) 13:37, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Here Be Dragons
"It is notable as one of only two known instances of a historical map actually using the phrase HC SVNT DRACONES"

What is the other one? As far as I can tell the Hunt-Lenox Globe is the only historical map to contain a version of the phrase. The wikipedia article on "here be dragons" supports this opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BartonFunk (talk • contribs) 01:27, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

1504 or 1510 ?
The dating of this globe was until this diff ( 21 August 2019 ) and now it is
 * 1510 with sources : and  (Archive
 * 1504 with source Missinne, Stefaan, The Da Vinci Globe, Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 2018, x + 282 p., 220 illustrations mostly in colour, 4 tables, 2 diagrams, 29 x 20.5 cm, soft cover, ISBN 978-1-5275-1134-7, op.cit. 46-60.

The New York Public Library is still dating the globe : 1510 (approximate).

I'm french and I can hardly argue in English and I'm not able to fix english article but « around 1510 » seems the most valuable date. HB (talk) 07:57, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
