Note 11 — Chapter I

Ziegler’s book is rare and curious; he was a geographer of great repute. Such books often serve to perpetuate references to more important works, and to show the erroneous geographical opinions of the period. A second edition, under a different title, was published at the same place in 1536. See Harrisse’s Biblio. Amer. Vetus, pp. 290, 291, 350, and the Carter-Brown Catalogue, pp. 106, 120, where will be found a notice of Ziegler. Biddle, p. 31.
