Doug,
contrary to you I have had the pleasure to receive Prime sources in the
matter. I have had it as for my research, not to publish it in full nor to
send it on.
The texts you have had are written by scholars who had same access as I
have.
You better accept it no matter what you belive. The documents are wellknown
in Catholic circles.
I am not the one who needs to put proof forward. They have been known for
the last 740 years. Well known. That those who aren't scholars of History
and haven't had Religion as one of their minor subjects don't know of them
doesn't change a bit.

Tom,
your questioning is a strawman-alike questioníng. Now I happen to know
which
Indian tribe that mined the silver,
for that an for the silver in Icelandic artifacts. That doesn't alter
the
simple fact that Ivar Bardson on travelling the voyage for collecting
the
Tiundetaka(yes that was then name for the tithes 'taken'(=collected)
from
the dioceses under Gardar Greenland. Ivar Bardson's voyage took several
years, as did the other known collector's voyages when Greenland and
Vinland
was on the agenda. Latest documented collection was from 1500's(!) btw.

Fact is that the silvered coconut bowl came from the tithes collected in
Vinland North America. Not Greenland. Not Iceland nor anywhere else in
the
Old World.

Inger, you need to demonstrate this to be the case and get it accepted by
others before you can claim it to be a fact. I'll look through the
documents I'm being sent and see what I can find there, but of course they
aren't primary sources.
