Kejlbo, Ib Rønne, 1976, A so far unknown map by Hans Egede. Geografisk Tidsskrift: 42–46. København, juni 1, 1976. The Royal Library, Copenhagen, has acquired Hans Egede's manuscript ·Nova Delineatio/GRØNLANDIÆ ANTIQVÆ...1737.” A hitherto unknown map. This map is most notable, being thefirst regular map prepared by a resident of Greenland. Moreover, it is worthy of fame because it is the first of Greenland on which Frobisher Strait has deliberately been left out after having been introduced into cartography during the 1570s, a suppression due to Hans Egede's investigations of the actual geographical conditions. Hans Egede made various copies of this map, and Christian VI's cousin, Count Ernst, for instance, obtained a copy which he incorporated in his library in Wernigerode. This copy came into The Royal Libraries possession some years ago
