Zichmni discovered: An investigation into the Zeno narrative of 1558

According to a book published at Venice in 1558 the two brothers Nicolo and Antonio Zeno made a voyage to northern Europe in 1380 where they met a chieftain whom they called Zichmni. Subsequent writers have suggested that together with Zichmni the Zenos sailed to Iceland, Greenland and America a hundred years before Columbus. Some have also suggested that Zichmni was none other than Henry Sinclair, 3rd Earl of Orkney. This booklet was researched by the author in an attempt to discover the origins of the Zeno narrative and to unmask the true identity of Zichmni.
