A gap is ours, not a statement about the place — it means nobody here has read an instrument for it yet.
2 named documents, issued by 2 bodies, stand behind these rows. Every date is traceable to one of them:

1 of 15 dated closures were read from the instrument itself; the rest come from independent secondary sources or published compilations. Across 2 named sources, and every row says which.
Contents are emitted when the dossier is compiled, so this list and the PDF cannot disagree.
