# The Myth of Norumbega
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The first person to put "Norumbega" on a map was Giacomo
|
||||||
|
Gastaldi.[@KirsNor98, 34]
|
||||||
|
- "Once Giacomo Gastaldi had placed a fully fledged country of *Nurumberg* on
|
||||||
|
his map *Tierra Nueva*, in an edition of Ptolemy's Geography published in
|
||||||
|
Venice in 1548, geographical ignorance allowed the non-existent land to
|
||||||
|
flourish on innumerable other maps and globes. Thus until well into the
|
||||||
|
second half of the seventeenth century, the mythical country of Norumbega
|
||||||
|
continued to appear on maps."[@KirsNor98, 34]
|
||||||
|
- "Just about everything concerning Norumbega is in dispute. The two generally
|
||||||
|
agreed facts are: that in the mid-sixteenth century the name Norumbega
|
||||||
|
referred to the Penobscot Bay area and, by extension, to what is now Maine
|
||||||
|
and southern New Brunswick (an area of roughly between 44 and 46 degrees
|
||||||
|
north); and that the name itself was spawned by a small inlet labeled
|
||||||
|
*oranbega* on the maps drawn by Girolamo de Verrazzano in 1529 to illustrate
|
||||||
|
his brother's account of a voyage made five years previously."[@KirsNor98,
|
||||||
|
35]
|
||||||
|
- As with most myths, the facts such as they are vary widely between sources.
|
||||||
|
- The name "Norumbega" has a complicated history, unclear what its origin
|
||||||
|
was. Horsford claimed it was a native word that was a corruption of a
|
||||||
|
viking one.
|
||||||
|
- "Two other statements are also uncontentious: that in the sixteenth century
|
||||||
|
the region of Norumbega was attracting English would-be colonists, and that
|
||||||
|
once sufficient firsthand knowledge reached Europe from early attempts at
|
||||||
|
settlement and from further exploration, both the cartographical Norumbega
|
||||||
|
and the tales associated with it entirely disappeared."[@KirsNor98, 35]
