"The works of Macrobius, a fifth-century A.D. Roman philosopher, were of great popularity throughout the Middle Ages. His neoplatonic commentary on Cicero includes, among many references to the pseudo-sciences, a geographic concept which is different from that of Ptolemy. The inhabited world of the North is balanced by a southern continent and divided from it by water"--Shirley 13 (1483 original edition).
Renouard (Giunta), page xxxix (this edition); DSB IX, 1-2.
