[318] Another of the Rotz maps (no. 104 in the Kohl Collection) is similar to the eastern part of the map here given as “Western Hemisphere;” but the passage to the west, south of Labrador (Greenland?), is not so distinctly closed. There is a strong resemblance to this map in a French manuscript map in the British Museum, marked Livre de la marine du Pilote Pastoret [perhaps Pasterot or Pralut], l’an 1587, which is also in the Kohl Collection, no. 110.

[321] This has “Stegen Comes” inscribed on North America, which is supposed to commemorate the Estevan Gomez explorations; cf. Baldelli, Storia del milione, vol. i. p. lxv; Zurla, Di Marco Polo, ii. 369; Desimoni in Giornale Ligustico, p. 57.
[322] A copy of this is in the Kohl Collection.

[325] A full account of this map will be found in Vol. III. chap. i. Since that chapter was written, Harrisse has stated (Cabots, p. 153) that the French Government paid M. de Hennin in 1844 four hundred francs for this map (cf. Essai sur la Bibliothèque du Roi, Paris, 1856, p. 285). It has also within a year been photographed full size, with the legends, and copies of the photographs have been placed in nine American libraries (cf. Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., xix. 387, and xx. 39 Charles Deane, in Science, vol. i.).
