  "reviewer": "Florin-Stefan Morar",
  "date": "2026-10-10",
  "scope": "52 checklist observations on two identified Hondius plates were reviewed against image crops by the PI. 41 were confirmed, seven corrected, and four remain unresolved. These are observations, not a count of distinct place-names or maps.",
  "limits": "This review checks the European comparator. It does not verify the Ottoman readings, Chinese identifications, immediate exemplar or proposed translation relationship. Those claims retain their own evidence grades.",
