Google Drive PowerPoint: Google Drive PDF: Someone in Scotland, there at the Sacristy within Rosslyn Chapel, also knew exactly where the Newport Tower was located, evident by the five-pointed star, twice-inscribed, onto the north wall’s Sea Chart. He also described it in vivid detail in the section of his Narrative revolving around the St. He knew where it was located as he illustrated it precisely on several maps. Niccolò Zeno was quite familiar with the Newport Tower. The actual geodetic latitude of the Newport Tower is 41.48°. The chart positioned this same monastery at exactly 72° geodetic latitude, which in turn as the zenith elevation, cross-correlates to a 41.53° geodetic latitude. Thomas Zenobius (Cenobius) monastery on the copper-engraved, printed map within the Zeno Narrative. The 75° value is the geodetic positioning of the St. The world map illustrated the Newport Tower at 38.45°, this being the latitude derived from a 75° value for a Zenith Elevation of the Sun at Solar Noon on the Summer Solstice (Year 1362). Both of these cartographic works illustrated the Newport Tower. This presentation examines the and the within the Zeno Atlas. The Newport Tower was constructed in the 13th century, well before the Inventio Fortunata survey explorations of the 1350s/1360s decisively mapped the location of this tower, a geodetic survey marker, that was thought to have been constructed on the eastern seaboard of Asia, specifically Seres. Some even assert that the Zeno’s/Sinclair’s were responsible for constructing the relic stone tower within Narragansett Bay that is now-known as the Newport Tower. All things Zeno are controversial due to the 19th and 20th century assertions that the Zeno’s of Venice, Italy were involved with the Sinclair’s of Scotland in Pre-Columbian explorations of North America. The maps and charts within the Zeno Atlas have been catalogued by the late cartographic historian, Corradino Astengo, as having been produced in the 16th century, but with some anachronistic elements that are dateable to the 14th century. For simplicity, I shall refer to this BnF-held manuscript as the Zeno Atlas. ![]() ![]() The Chart of the North Atlantic Ocean contains illustrative elements found on the 1558 copper-engraved, printed map within the controversial Zeno Narrative. The Bibliothèque nationale de France (Paris, FR) holds a re-assembled manuscript containing six charts and a world map. ![]() Google Drive PowerPoint: Google Drive PDF: The NF-NS PM was the reference meridian that the Spirit Pond Rune Stones used for its longitude component of its geographic coordinate. Other topics include further discussion of Frisland and the Newfoundland-Nova Scotia Prime Meridian (NF-NS PM). Another analysis thread examines why Johannes Ruysch erroneously illustrated the magnetic mountain and in-rushing channels of water at the top of the world, the actual geodetic North Pole, vice its correct position on the Arctic Circle in the region bounded by the Hudson Straight on the south and the Davis Straight on the east. An in-depth analysis of the Inventio Fortunata narrative from the 1677 letter Mercator to John Dee is presented on other slides. Tomas Zenobius monastery at the Zenith Elevation placement of 72°. A positive finding from the testing, as demonstrated by Slides 38 and 39, was how the Niccolò Zeno maps lifted Greenland to the north in latitude in order to illustrate the St. ![]() The test results did not validate a Zenith Elevation placement. The original basis for this 72-slide presentation on the 1569 Mercator World Map was to test the latitude position of Grocland in a Zenith Elevation Model.
