SUMMARYMap receipts (16 screenshots from Tito, Nov 6, 2026). Record: De Bry's Caribbean map (1594) labels the island "HAYTI sive SPANIOLA," so Ayiti's own name stands first on a 1594 European map. Record: Gastaldi's world map (1548) puts "India Superior," "Catayo" and "Mangi" in the same landmass as "La Florida" and "Nueva Hispania" (see profile: Asia Major / India Superior). Record: an "America Septentrionalis" map (Dutch, about 1630) writes beside Quivira: "Catervatim hic homines per campos, societate inita, in tentoriis, Tartarorum more, agrestem vitam degunt," people here live in bands on the plains, in tents, "in the manner of the Tartars." The Tartar link is on the map in Latin. Record: Jerónimo de Chaves's "La Florida" (Ortelius, 1584) is a map of the land's towns from the de Soto route: Tascalisa (Tuscaloosa), Chiaha, Xuala, Coste, Achusi, Cafaqui and others (ties to P778 aboriginal cities). Record: Le Testu's Florida (1555–56) flies blue and red crescent banners and a sun banner over the interior. Le Testu often painted invented banners, so the crescents' meaning is OPEN (CODE for the Moorish lens). Record: Portuguese charts (Miller Atlas tradition, 1519; Diogo Homem) paint crowned African kings on thrones; one chart in the set paints walled castles with red-and-white banners inside North America (source to identify). Pattern: cartouches and allegories picture the Americans dark-skinned: Laurie and Whittle's "New and Correct Map of America" (London, 1775); van der Aa's "Amerikaans Gewest van Florida" (about 1707); a "4. AMERICA" continent allegory; an "INCA" label. Disputed: the "Zheng He 1418" map (Liu Gang, 2006), dated 1763, which analysts say copies 1600s European world maps; it needs ink and paper testing. Record (context): the "New Prussia" map with "Turconia" for Florida is a WWI American propaganda satire (1917) showing what a German victory would look like, not a record of Turkish Florida. Record: Piri Reis (1513) wrote on his own map that he drew on a map by Columbus; the Antarctica reading is Disputed.
