Isaac de La Peyrère’s Relation du Groenland and particularly his Carte de Groenland influenced both the reading public and later cartographers. This article rehearses aspects of the map’s publication history, comparing errors and emendations in place names, geographical features, and boundaries, which created — at least on paper — a rivalry between Britain and Denmark for the northern reaches of North America
