A fabrication. The author's real name is unknown. "Psalmanazar ... wrote in Latin, and the main portion of his manuscript was translated by Mr. Oswald ... What was not due to his own imagination he borrowed from Verenius's ʻDescriptio regni Japoniae et Siamʼ (Amsterdam, 1649) or Candidius's ʻVoyagesʼ." - Dict. nat. biog.
