Ziegler is clearly anxious to present a work that meets the scholarly requirements of his time' (John Bartlett, Mapping Jordan through Two Millenia, 2008). Ziegler refers to the Cabots, and Spanish expeditions to the North-east of the American Continent, but also mentions Nordic legends that suggested the Continent was first discovered by the Vikings in the ninth century. The map of Scandinavia ('Schondia') is the first to depict Finland as a separate peninsula.
