 Matteo Ricci's 1602 map now removed from the Internet

Is it strange that all detailed Ricci 1602 maps on the Internet are now not accessible.


Tohoku University :
http://www2.library.tohoku.ac.jp/kano/mado/konyo_MADO.html

Wikipedia :

http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/File:Kunyu_Wanguo_Quantu_%28%E5%9D%A4%E8%BC%BF%E8%90%AC%E5%9C%8B%E5%85%A8%E5%9C%96%29.jpg
The detailed map cannot be opened any more.

A Chinese site that has duplicated the Tohoku map:
http://cmsdy.godeyes.cn/showtopic.aspx?forumid=301&topicid=210949&go=prev

Library of Congress does not post the scanned map.
The only way to see it is at U Minnesota.

One might have to ask why.

The low res map can be linked to the high res map now, in addition to the interactive map.

This site seems to be closed permanently.

The best source should be Library of Congress if they post the map.
