Previously, the Hunt-Lenox Globe, a small copper globe, was thought to be the oldest known such artifact. Dated to around 1510, this globe, Missinne discovered, is actually a copy made from a cast of the older, original ostrich-egg globe. Missinne's findings have their detractors, including John W. Hessler of the Library of Congress, who claims Missinne himself is the anonymous owner of the globe, which raises issues of conflict of interest. "Where this thing comes from needs to be clarified, " says Renaissance cartography expert Chet Van Duzer of the John Carter Brown Library in Providence, R. I., though he adds, "It is an exciting discovery, no question. " Missinne's claims for the egg's provenance are more modest than his marketing. He "speculates, " writes Kim, " the egg could have loose connections to the workshop of Leonardo da Vinci. " Hessler's view is less equivocal: "The Leonardo connection is pure nonsense. " A layperson like Missinne, whatever his personal investment, might be inclined to overinterpret evidence or make tenuous connections a trained scholar would avoid.
