  • The Pizzigano map, also known as the Pizzigano chart is an Italian portolan chart dated 1424. It contains islands in the North Atlantic Ocean in the west of Spain and Portugal including Portuguese discoveries and legendary islands such as Antillia. The cartographer may have been the Venetian Zuane Pizigano, possibly a descendant of a 14th century family of mapmakes one of whom authored another well known map also called the Pizziagano map in Parma in 1367. Best known for the first represention of the mythical island of Antillia, more recently Gavin Menzies has claimed these islands as proof that China discovered the Americas before Columbus in the book ' as representations of the Caribbean islands of Puerto Rico and Guadeloupe, the former being called on the map as Antilia, and the latter as Satanazes, or "Satan's Island," by the mapmaker. Critics of Menzies argue that the islands are, according to his identification, in the wrong latitude, the wrong longitude, are oriented incorrectly and do not explain where the Azores are situated or why the Azores according to Menzies are not shown on the map although at least some were known to European portulan makers.
  • Zuane Pizzigano war ein venezianischer Kartograf zu Beginn des 15. Jahrhundert. Erwähnenswert ist seine Landkarte von 1424, auf der im Westen zwei Inseln eingezeichnet sind. Am naheliegendsten ist die Identifizierung mit den vulkanischen Azoren. Anhänger transatlantischer Fahrten vor Kolumbus sehen diese Inseln dagegen als Beleg für Puerto Rico und das ebenfalls vulkanische Guadeloupe in der Karibik. Die eine Insel trägt die Bezeichnung con ymana was im alten Portugiesisch "ein Vulkan bricht dort aus" bedeutet. Die andere Insel trägt die Bezeichnung "antilia" und ist damit vermutlich die erste kartografische Darstellung der Phantominsel Antilia.
  • Zuane Pizzigano est un cartographe vénitien. Il aurait produit une carte navale le 22 août 1424, indiquant les côtes européennes et africaines, les archipels des Açores, de Madère et les îles Canaries, ainsi que quatre autres îles, deux bleues et deux rouges. Ces quatre îles supplémentaires portent les noms de Satanazes, Antillia, Saya et Ymana. Le nom de l'auteur de la carte a été raturé et bien qu'il soit possible de discerner "Pizzi.. ", les historiens accordent à moitié le crédit de son élaboration à Zuanne Pizzigano. Gavin Menzies utilise cette carte comme point de départ pour sa théorie de la découverte de l'Amérique par la Chine alors même que tous les noms figurant sur le document sont écrits en langue portugaise.
  • Zuane Pizzigano foi um cartógrafo veneziano do século XV. Produziu uma carta náutica onde se encontram indicadas as costas da Europa Ocidental, do noroeste da África, os arquipélagos de Açores, Madeira, Canárias, e mais quatro ilhas, duas desenhadas em azul e duas em vermelho. Estas ilhas suplementares têm os nomes de Satanazes, Antilia, Saya e Ymana. O escritor Gavin Menzies utiliza este mapa desenhado por Pizzigano como ponto de referência para sua teoria da descoberta das Américas pelos chineses aos tempos do Imperador Zhou Di, apesar de o documento se referir a todos os topônimos em língua portuguesa.
