The island of Satanazes (also called the island of Devils, or of the Hand of Satan or of St. Athanasius) is a legendary island once thought to be located in the Atlantic Ocean, and depicted on many 15th-century maps. == Cartographic depiction == In 15th-century portolan charts, the island of Satanazes is depicted as lying out in the north Atlantic Ocean, due west of the Azores and Portugal, and just north of the legendary island of Antillia. The island was first depicted in the 1424 portolan chart of Venetian cartographer Zuane Pizzigano. It is drawn as a large, blue rectangular island, indented with bays and five or six settlements, with the inscription ''ista ixolla dixemo satanazes'', which has been translated as "this is the island called of the devils". In his 1424 chart, Pizzigano placed Satanazes some sixty leagues north of the large ''Antillia'' island. Pizzigano capped Satanazes with a little umbrella-shaped island he labels ''Saya'' (which later cartographers will call ''Tanmar'' or ''Danmar''). These three islands, plus ''Ymana'' (later called ''Royllo'', a little companion west of Antillia), will be collectively drawn together in many later 15th-century maps, with the same relative size, position and shape Pizzigano gave them, and known collectively as the "Antillia group" or (to use Bianco's label) the ''insulae de novo rep(er)te'' ("islands newly reported"). In Grazioso Benincasa's 1463 atlas, the settlements on Satanazes island are named Araialis, Cansillia, Duchal, Jmada, Nam and Saluaga.〔Cortesão (1954 (1975), (p.140 ))〕 Cartographic appearances of Satanazes:〔List from Cortesão (1954 (1975): (p.134 ))〕 * 1424 map of Zuane Pizzigano of Venice as ''ista ixolla dixemo satanazes'' * 1435 map of Battista Beccario of Genoa as ''Satanagio'' * 1436 map of Andrea Bianco of Venice as ''Ya de la man satanaxio'' * 1463, 1470 and 1482 maps of Grazioso Benincasa of Ancona as ''Saluaga''/''Salvaga'' (u and v are equivalent) * 1460s anonymous Weimar map (attrib. to Conte di Ottomano Freducci of Ancona) as ''Salvagio''.〔The use of Beinincasa's "Salvaga" rather than the older "Satanaxio" in the Weimar map is one of the critical factors in adjusting the estimate of the Weimar map's composition date from 1424 (Humboldt's original estimate) to sometime in the 1460s or after.〕 * 1480 and 1489 maps of Pedro Roselli of Majorca as ''Salvatga'' * 1480 and 1489 maps of Albino de Canepa of Venice as ''Salvagia'' * 1487 map of anonymous Majorcan cartographer as ''Salvaja'' * 1493 Laon globe as ''Salirosa'' Significantly, the island of Satanazes is omitted on the maps of Bartolomeo Pareto (1455), Cristoforo Soligo (c. 1475) Grazioso's son Andrea Benincasa (1476) and the Nuremberg globe of Martin Behaim (1492), even though they all include Antillia and some retain ''Saya''/''Tanmar''.〔Cortesão (1954 (1975): p.134)〕 Satanazes disappears on practically all maps after Christopher Columbus's voyages of the 1490s. It was possibly transplanted (in smaller form) to the Isle of Demons, between Newfoundland and Greenland, e.g. the 1508 map of Johannes Ruysch. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Satanazes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
