Norombera: then of these 4 beinge notable portions of the ancient Atlantis, no longer—nowe named America16". As William Sherman has commented, "In Dee's 1576-1578 manuscripts Madoc became the linchpin of claims for North America

Exactly. It was called American at the time of Dee's writings though.
