Annals of the voyages of the brothers Nicolò and Antonio
Zeno in the north Atlantic about the end of the 14th cen-
tury and the claim founded thereon to a Venetian discov-

ery of America; a criticism and an indictment. 1898..qr910.4 L96
Authorities, p.209-224.

In 1558 there was published in Venice what purported to be a description
of the voyages of the brothers Nicolò and Antonio Zeno in the north
Atlantic at the end of the 14th century. This narrative, together with
the accompanying map was at first accepted as genuine, but both
were soon questioned, and they have been a subject of discussion
among historians and geographers ever since. Mr Lucas takes the
ground that both the narrative and the map are fraudulent, and refers
to many maps and previous works on the subject in support of his
position. Among the facsimiles illustrating the work is the first Zeno
narrative in Italian, Hakluyt's first English version, the Zeno map and
33 others.
