Is this 1311 "Letoini pagani" the first mention on a map known today?

1311 (published for the first time in 1611 by Bongars) ("Map of the World") by Pietro Vesconte


Or is it this 1321 Vesconte with "Letoini pagani"?

1321 Pietro Vesconte ("Map of the World") published by Sanudo


Or is it this 1325 "Litefania est paganos”?


1325 Angelino Dulcert/Dalorte "Europa" portolan, from images made 1929 by the Royal Geographic Society, from the collection of Prince Orsini of Florence (A big "Thank You!" to Arv Jarasius, a blog subscriber, for pointing me to this map)


Consider the evidence I will present at a free virtual event hosted by the International Map Collectors' Society on Wednesday, February 26 at 1:00 - 2:30 pm New York (EST) time (12:00 - 1:30 pm Chicago time, 6:00 - 7:30 pm UK time, and 20:00 - 21:30 Lithuania time). Register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/imcos-map-show-tell-spring-2025-free-tickets-1222009797199?aff=oddtdtcreator


My presentation will be one of eight 10-minute presentations -- I don't know when mine will be -- along with ones, for example, by "Venice in Peril" on the conservation of an important Coronelli Globe, one on a Blaue map of a French region, and one on a Lufthansa air map "with a Cold War twist". All presentations will be in English, and there will be time for questions. I hope to see you there online.
