Septentriolanum Pertium Nova Tabula

YEAR 1561

The map was published in Ptolemy’s Geography. Ruscelli believed Zeno‘s story about travel of Zeno brothers to Frisland and Iceland and based his map of Zeno‘ map. There are two states of this map, the second one from 1574. An easy way to distinguish them is that the second “T“ in Septentrionalum appears like an “I“ in the second state.
