Book Description:
|
The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. This volume contains the letters of the Zeno brothers (c. 1326-1403), purporting to relate an expedition to America. R. H. Major provides an analysis demonstrating the ingenuity of this fabricated account.
