Historical notes:
|
Asmaida or Mayda and Brasil islands are two islands which are fictitious and whose persistance on maps lasted from 1347 to maybe 1904. Sonetti's book of islands was the first to describe islands, but his islands were all maps of islands in the Greek archipelago. Bordone's book expanded the subject matter by attempting to chart the islands of the entire world.
