	Zeno Home
		Zeno's paradoxes are a set of paradoxes devised by Zeno of Elea to support Parmenides' doctrine that "all is one" and that contrary to the evidence of our senses, the belief in plurality and change is mistaken, and in particular that motion is nothing but an illusion.
		Zeno of Citium (The Stoic) (333 BC-264 BC) was a Hellenistic philosopher from Citium, Cyprus.
		Zeno was the son of a merchant and a student of Crates of Thebes.

	Zeno - Italian voyages to the Americas
		Antonio Zeno continued to live in the north and was so interested in the discoveries and adventures of his brother and himself in these little-known countries, that he wrote, or finished writing, a report concerning them and on a sea chart depicted all the surrounding countries of which he or his brother had knowledge.
		Carlo Zeno put this valuable contribution to the little-known regions of the north in his archives, as a memorial of his brothers, where it remained undisturbed for one hundred and fifty years.
		Antonio Zeno, in the report on his and his brother's voyages, relates that a fishing vessel from "Frisland," being driven by a storm far out to the west, arrived at a country named "Estotiland," the inhabitants of which had commerce with "Engroenelandt" (Greenland).

		It has, however, been shown conclusively that the Zeno map was based on the 1537 map of the northern regions executed by the Swede Olaus Magnus and on the 15th-century map of the Dane, Claudius Clavus.
		Even if one overlooks the absurd contents of the Zeno narrative, there is not a shred of evidence, as F. Lucas conclusively showed in 1898, to suggest that Henry Sinclair made any transatlantic voyages (not to mention the discovery of Nova Scotia) or that he had either Nicolò or Antonio at his court.

		Zeno wrote an account of his voyages, which he showed to several persons, but his papers were partly burned by Antonio's young grandson, Caterino (born in Venice in 1515).
		We now know that Zeno´s principal sources were Olaus Magnus´ map of the North, the Caerte van Oostland of Cornelis Anthoniszoon, and old maps of the North of the Claudius Clavus type with elements taken from southern sea charts of the 15th and 16th centuries.
		Antonio remained ten years more in the service of Zichmin, and then returned to Venice, where he died about 1405, Zeno wrote an account of his voyages, which he showed to several persons, but his papers were partly burned by Antonio's young grandson, Caterino (born in Venice in 1515).

	DID FISHERMEN DISCOVER THE NEW WORLD?
		One of the most remarkable, albeit controversial, fisherman-explorer accounts is attributed to Venetian adventurer Antonio Zeno, whom Henry Sinclair aficionados believe served as Admiral of Sinclair's navy, which was one of the largest in Europe.
		Zeno's tale begins with the unexpected return home of a fisherman, long presumed dead, who had been aboard one of four fishing boats that had disappeared in a storm 26 years earlier.
		Zeno's fisherman lived to tell his tale because the natives became fascinated by fish nets they found in his boat.

	600th Celebration
		Prince Henry commissioned Antonio and Nicolo Zeno, the brothers of Carlo Zeno "the Lion" of Venice, to draw a map of the north Atlantic region.
		Antonio Zeno was the navigator and recorder of the fleet's log, which is called the "Zeno Narratives." The voyage took the explorers to Faeroes, Iceland, Greenland, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and to New England.
		Antonio Zeno reported about Henry Sinclair, "If ever there was a man who is worthy of a mortal memory, it is this man [Henry Sinclair] because of his great bravery and goodness".

	Brotto - Italo Svevo's Zeno's Conscience (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Zeno seems to me first and foremost to be a master of resentment, a resentment that in him mingles with desire in an inextricable knot.
		Zeno always oscillates, when he is confronting the other, between envy (sometimes disguised as admiration) if the other seems to him to be like him but stronger, and antipathy if the other is apparently different.
		Zeno is a resentful human being, and he is such from the beginning; he retains this character, eluding every conciliation, unless it is merely apparent.

	CRUISING NOVA SCOTIA - 600 YEARS AGO!
		Zeno faithfully wrote home to Venice about his adventures serving a northern prince named "Zichmni," Excerpts of these letters and a "sea chart" were published in 1558, and it has been deduced by many researchers over the past 100 years that Zichmni was in fact Henry Sinclair.
		According to Zeno, Zichmni/Sinclair was intrigued by the tale of an Orkney fisherman who showed up 26 years after disappearing at sea, telling of a magnificent "new world" beyond "Engroneland" (Greenland) and "Estotiland" (Newfoundland).
		Indeed were it not for Antonio Zeno's correspondence habits, little or nothing would survive to indicate that such a voyage ever took place - certainly no European link to dovetail with the Glooscap legends.

		the author of the Zeno Narrative as published in 1558, was born in Venice in 1515.
		The Zeno publication was the young Zeno's efforts to recount the discoveries and travels of his Zeno ancestors, as transcribed from letters between Nicolo Zeno the Chevalier (133?-1395), his brother Carlo Zeno "The Lion" (?-1418), and Nicolo's son Antonio (?-1405).
		There is speculation that Zeno based his map upon a much more ancient map, coming from the Templars in the Middle East and carried in secrecy by them for safekeeping in Rosslyn Castle until Price Henry commissioned its update by Zeno.

		The Venetian brothers in adventure, Nicolò and Antonio Zeno, have seen singing angels and rotten monsters, soaring palaces and sulphorous dungeons, but nothing to match this show of natural rage.
		Zeno made a survey map of Greenland in 1393; this map would be the most accurate map of this area of the world until 1550 [from www.tsj.org/sancto.htm].
		Primary evidence for this claim is provided by the Zeno Narrative, published in Venice by one of Nicolò’s ancestors in 1558, and the Zeno Map, purporting to be the earliest map of the coastline of Nova Scotia.

	Orkneyjar - Earl Henry Sinclair - The Legendary Atlantic Journey
		Published anonymously in Venice in 1558, the Zeno Narrative is thought to have been compiled by Nicolo Zeno, in honour of his ancestors, the navigators Nicolo and Antonio Zeno.

		Together with Antonio Zeno, Zichmni sets sail but as far as the Zeno narrative is concerned they never reach them.

		Sinclair saved the Zeno brothers and their crew from the marauding Shetlanders who deemed any shipwreck or grounded vessel thrown up on their shores as theirs by right, and invited the grateful Italians to join him.
		He and Antonio Zeno set sail for what they called the “New World” (this was the first time this now famous term was used) and after a brief stop in what seems likely to have been Newfoundland, they continued west to “a fertile land, mild and pleasant beyond description”.
		Based on the reports of Antonio Zeno and Sinclair himself, and after gathering a mass of relevant geographical, social and geological data, the historical writer Fredrick J. Pohl came to the undeniable conclusion that Henry Sinclair had landed in Nova Scotia.
