Re: "Harum insularum detector Europaeus primus annis 1595 - 1599 Vincentius Bune (Vice Bune) fuit, navigator Dalmaticus ex Ragusa (Dubrovnik)." ← What's the source of this statement? Peter H. Buck's book Exploreres of the Pacific (Honolulu: Bernice P. Bishop Museum special publication 43, 1953) doesn't mention Bune, and it implies (p. 9) that the first Europeans to sight Vanuatu were on an expedition led by Pedro Fernandez de Quiros, and that this expedition "discovered" the New Hebrides in 1606, and, further, that on 3 May 1606 Quiros "discovered" an island he called Australia del Espíritu Santo—a name that, reduced to Espiritu Santo, has stuck to the present day.

I removed the "francophony" and "anglophony" categories pro tem because we haven't applied them elsewhere in the world. Not sure if we need them. Note the Linguarum officialium catalogus: this may cover the need. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 10:31, 4 Iunii 2010 (UTC)
