The second link in sources (Minnesota university, why does it say Michigan???) says that "Many reproductions have been made of the map, including the one reproduced here, which is a facsimile made in 1949 in Sweden; this copy was handcolored in Norway." But the map was purchased by Uppsala University only in 1962, and in Sweden facsimile were made only in 1975, 1986, and 1997. (info from Carolina Redviva)

"The map is a result of very hard work and it took twelve years to finish." ... what the hell is this, second grade?

Well, it probably refers to the point that there were most likely no maps of northern europe at the time; so compiling one from scratch, taking into account every island and landmass, should be quite hard.--

Keep in mind, too, that the map is comprised of nine separate, rather large woodcuts. I note, though, that the dimensions seem to reversed. The page states that the dimensions are 1.7 high by 1.25 meters wide, and it certainly looks to my eyes that it is actually 1.25 meters high, and 1.7 meters wide.

Yes, and I have to agree with hack’s assessment of the poor quality of writing in this article; I will give the original contributor the benefit of the doubt, and assume it was written by a non-native speaker. Never the less, I'm surprised this made it as a feature article without someone catching this first. I would edit it, but I'm not quite sure whose "12 years of hard work" to attribute this to; is it all Olaus Magnus's work? -

To be fair, it's not a feature article. The image of the map itself, which coincidentally happens to have an article about it, was the feature.
