摘要：Comenolitari is a bizarre geographical term so far of unknown origin which has been used extensively for centuries both by cartographers and geographers to denote the south part of Macedonia or even Macedonia as a whole. This paper follows the uses of this term through a long series of maps and geographies dating back to the 16th and up to the 19th cen-tury. It is argued that Comenolitari is a well known physical monument of Albania, which overlooks a strategic pass leading from Korçë to the valley of river Devoli. In the same trend the paper clarifies the origin of the strange terms Jambol (for Central Macedonia) and Janna (for Thessaly) both used in early modern cartography.
