	Earl Henry Sinclair's fictitious trip to America, by Brian Smith
		If the Zeno map is the work of Venetian navigators who lived with the earl of Orkney for four and fourteen years respectively, they don't seem to have paid much attention to their surroundings.
		Zeno said that Zichmni owned some 'islands called Porlanda, near to Frislanda on the south side, the richest and most populous in all those parts', and that he was duke of 'Sorant' or 'Sorand'.
		Zeno's map makes it clear that Grislanda, another figment of his imagination, was on the south coast of Iceland.

		The Zeno map refers to a map of the North Atlantic first published in 1558 in Venice by Nicolo Zeno, a descendant of a person by the same name, Nicolo Zeno, of the Zeno brothers.
		According to his claim, the map and letters were made around the year 1400 and purport to describe a voyage by the Zeno brothers made in the 1390s under the direction of a prince named Zichmni.
		The evidence against the authenticity of the map is based largely on the appearance of many non-existent islands in the North Atlantic and off the coast of Iceland.

		Indeed in 1898, the British geographer Frederick Lucas wrote a meticulous, schoolmasterish demolition of Zeno’s account, in which he observed that the antedating of the map could be seen as an indirect claim for the discovery of America by a Venetian—scoring a point or two against rival Genoa, Columbus’s city of origin.
		Even Frisland was not entirely his invention—Catalan maps and Italian portolanos of the fifteenth century contain islands variously called Fisland, Fixlanda, and Frislanda, widely thought to be versions of “Fishland,” and to refer to Iceland or the Faroes, both known for their plentiful supplies of fish.
		Perhaps Zeno’s fiction is designed to stand in belatedly for a childhood wonder on which he missed out—the boy who destroyed the maps of distant lands instead of poring over them—or perhaps to atone for some more obscure crime of the imagination.

		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.
		Thus the Zeno affair remains one of the most preposterous and at the same time one of the most successful fabrications in the history of exploration.
