""The Voyages of the Venetian Brothers, Nicolo and Antonio Zeno, to the Northern Seas in the Fourteenth Century"" is a historical account of the travels of two brothers from Venice who explored the northern regions of Europe in the 14th century. The book, written by Nicolo Zeno himself and published in 1873, details their adventures and encounters with various cultures and peoples, including the Sami people of Scandinavia, the Inuit of Greenland, and the Basque fishermen of Newfoundland. The brothers also claimed to have discovered a land called Frisland, which some historians believe may have been a mythological island. The book is considered a valuable primary source for historians studying the early exploration of the Arctic and North Atlantic regions, as well as the cultural interactions between different groups of people during the medieval period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
