[145] This chart is given in the atlas (no. iv.) to Kunstmann’s Entdeckung Amerikas; in Stevens’s Notes, etc., pl. v.; in H. H. Bancroft’s Central America, vol. i. 133 (erroneously); and in part in Kohl’s Discovery of Maine, pl. x. A portion of it is sketched in Vol. III. p. 56. Harrisse (Cabots, p. 167) puts it after Balboa’s visit to Panama in 1516-1517, and before 1520, because it shows no trace of Magellan’s Straits. A map of Laurentius Frisius, 1525 (Kohl Collection, no. 102), represents the southern part of what appears to be Greenland, with an island marked “Terra laboratoris” lying west of its extreme point, while the edge of “Terra nova contemti” (Corterealis) is seen further west.

For Maiollo’s cartographical skill, see Heinrich Wüttke’s “Geschichte der Erdkunde” in the Jahresbericht des Vereins für Erdkunde in Dresden, 1870, p. 61. There are other notes of Maiollo’s work in the Giornale Ligustico, 1875; in D’Avezac’s Atlas hydrographique de 1511, p. 8; in Uzielli’s Elenco, etc.; and in Harrisse’s Cabots, p. 166.
