The controversial ( possibly fake ) Vinland map, dated by its supporters around 1440, shows the outlines of Antillia and Satanazes islands ( but not the two smaller ones ) under the general label Magnae insulae Beati Brandani ( great islands of St. Brendan ).

Antillia ( and all its companions ) are conspicuously omitted in the map of Gabriel de Vallseca ( 1439 ), the Genoese map ( 1457 ), the Fra Mauro map ( 1459 ) and the maps of Henricus Martellus Germanus ( 1484, 1489 ) and Pedro Reinel ( c. 1485 ).

Some historians believe the legend of Antillia was first insinuated cartographically in the 1367 portolan of the Venetian brothers Domenico and Francesco Pizzigano.

1424 map of Zuane Pizzigano, first clear depiction of Antillia ( large red rectangle ), Ymana ( future Royllo, small blue island to the west ), Satanazes ( large blue rectangle to the north ) and Saya ( future Damnar, umbrella-shaped red isle far north )

The routine appearance of such a large " Antillia " in 15th century nautical charts has led to speculation that it might represent the American landmass, and has fueled many theories of pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact.

Pizzigano drew Antillia as a large, red, rectangular island, indented with bays and dotted with seven settlements, with the inscription ista ixola dixemo antilia (" this island is called antillia ").

They are commonly referred to collectively as the " Antillia group " or ( to use Beccario's label ) the insulae de novo rep ( er ) te (" islands newly reported ").

Significantly, although included in his map of 1436, the Antillia group is omitted in the later Andrea Bianco map of 1448, although some authors believe that two rectangular islands depicted by Bianco much further south ( in the environs of Cape Verde ), and labelled merely dos ermanos (" two brothers ") may be a reference to Antilia and Satanazes.

Various Atlantic islands including the Azores and Canary Islands are depicted, as is the mythical island of Antillia and possibly Japan.

On these maps, Antillia was typically depicted on a similar scale to that of Portugal, lying around 200 miles west of the Azores.

Antillia ( or Antilia ) is a legendary island that was reputed, during the 15th century age of exploration, to lie in the Atlantic Ocean, far to the west of Portugal and Spain.

After 1492, when the north Atlantic Ocean began to be routinely sailed, and became more accurately mapped, depictions of Antillia gradually disappeared.

" Menzies proposes an explanation for why the old maps locate Antillia in the Atlantic Ocean rather than the Caribbean Sea, arguing that the combination of the Portuguese dead-reckoning navigation technique and the Atlantic ocean currents caused navigators to mis-calculate Antillia's location on their maps.

The island of Brasil and / or Antillia ( from the Brendan context ) and the island of Sete Cidades, were usual geographic references that persisted in the proto-geography of the Atlantic.

It may simply be relocated version of the older legendary island of Satanazes (" Devils " in Portuguese ), that was normally depicted in 15th C. maps in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, just north of Antillia.

As is evident, on some maps ( e. g. Pareto, Soligo, Behaim ), Antillia appears without Satanazes.

Contrary to the earlier descriptions of the two island groups as distinct entities, a 16th century notion relegates Antillia to the island of São Miguel, the largest of the Azores, where a national park centering on two lakes still bears the name Sete Cidades.

One of the chief early descriptions of the heritage of Antillia is inscribed on the globe which the geographer Martin Behaim made at Nuremberg in 1492.

Columbus had supposedly gained charts and descriptions from a Spanish navigator, who had " sojourned ... and died also " at Columbus's home in Madeira, after having made landfall on Antillia.

* The mythical " Isle of Seven Cities ", also known as Antillia

Around the time of Spain's discovery of South America, Antillia dwindles substantially in size on Behaim's globe and later charts.
