	Inventio Fortunata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inventio Fortunata (also Inventio Fortunate, Inventio Fortunat or Inventio Fortunatae), "Discovery of Fortunata", is a lost book, probably dating from the 14th Century, containing a description of the North Pole as a magnetic island surrounded by a giant whirlpool and four continents.
		Whether or not the Inventio is the source of the medieval concept of the North Pole as a magnetic mountain surrounded by a circular continent divided by four powerful rivers, maps as early as Martin Behaim's 1492 map depict the region in this way.
		I do not find the book Inventio Fortunata, and I thought that I (or he) was bringing it with my things, and I am very sorry not [to] find it because I wanted very much to serve you.

		Nevertheless, I find that all the great names of Roman epic from Livius Andronicus to Claudian are represented, and even some of the lesser known names like Cornelius Severus, Albinovanus Pedo, Corippus.
		Silius Italicus, though often ignored by scholars, even in the booming market of late epic, is included here (291-316) because his use of intertextuality as a means of poetic inventio is essential to the subject of Roman Epic.
