Soaked in intrigue- Stolen by Priests
From what I surmise they didn’t have permission but told the book dealer. Someone higher up needed the $. Pretty murky but cathedral libraries weren’t very secure. Didn’t go to repairs.
Nice article on the Vinland Map forgery: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/medieval-map-of-north-america-identified-as-20th-century-forgery-180978751/
Just the name Zaragoza, screams of intregue. Haunting in the sound of the word itself.

Interesting, thank you -- sold to repair the church -- was that a bad or possibly good reason?
