Where is this map of Scandinavia (Nicolaus Germanus, 1467)
score:4
A version or very similar map can be found in the book The discoveries of the Nors*m*n in America : with special relation to their early cartographical representation by Fischer, Joseph, 1858-1944; Soulsby, Basil H. (Basil Harrington), 1864-1933 page 168

You can see from the caption it is a work by Nicolaus Germanus
Germanus fits the hint offered about the map being from Florence:
He lived first in Florence where he compiled astrological tables and produced his first revision of Ptolemy's Geography in 1466.
The existence of many versions are noted as well:
Nicolaus Germanus was an influential figure in the modernization and popularization of Ptolemy's Geographia. At least fifteen manuscript copies of Geographia were authored by Germanus or immediately copied from his work. Except for the 1482 Florence edition, all versions printed in the fifteenth century were based on his manuscripts.
Not sure about any better versions yet. One of the large libraries might have a better digitized copy of the original, and the caption above lists that item from Codex Vaticus Urbanus, Lat 274, f86-87, so an item from the Vatican Library...
Located the Vatican version which was being referenced by Fischer in his book, you can see it here with a nice zoomable hires viewer for close-up details. (watermarked with copyright notices, so I wont reproduce any of it here, though it does have an option for downloading a file for personal use.)
