De I Comentarii Del Viaggio in Persia…Et Dello Scoprimento Dell’Isole Frislanda, Eslanda, Engrovelanda, Estotilanda, & Icaria. Venice: Francesco Marcolini, 1558.
The Caterino brothers, Nicolo and Caterino, claimed to have visited islands near North America in 1380 including Newfoundland and Labrador. Some called them imposters, but their maps showed landforms for which they had more reliable information than their contemporaries. This 16th- century printing of their voyages was published anonymously, but appears to have been compiled by Nicolo Zeno and is an important addition to the rare book holdings on travel and exploration.
