(The first two entries above are not strictly relevant but the Beccari chart (1403) shows us that several of the Helsingør letter forms were in use at the beginning of the 15th century, and the Luxoro Atlas was included because its format (but not toponymy) was the model for the Helsingør Atlas).

{Unfortunately, the reproduction of Fiorino’s atlas/chart hybrid – a unique arrangement on two sheets broken down into regional sections with no consistent orientation – was not always clear enough for confident transcription, in both the Pujades DVD, A.32, and Medea /atlas/41. When an available image is only in medium resolution it can be possible to identify some elements but usually not the spelling of the toponyms.}
Blue headings = subsequent repetition of selected introductions between 1435 and 1455
Red headings = the four Helsingør names not reported before 1461-1462
Green ticks = the first appearance of that name
Over 50 charts and atlases were considered. The numbers in the first column refer to the Campbell Excel listing: https://www.maphistory.info/PortolanChartsChronologicalListing.xls
