According to
this site it is not, but
here Spain and the Canary Islands are mentioned separately, so that makes one wonder... Unfortunately, the latter is just an abstract (I have no access tot he full report) and it may be the result of clumsy phrasing.
I have news that had been cited in Austria, Italy, and Madeira. So it is not the first European appointment.
Yes it is cited in Madeira, so it is not first appointment in Portugal. Madeira is part of the Portuguese State,
Yes it is cited in the Canary Islands, which is not first appointment in Spain. Canary is part of the Spanish state.
But if it would be first quoted in the Iberian Peninsula.
And, as recorded by CAB Direct, (not including Austria and Italy)would also be the first European appointment. Madeira and the Canary Islands are islands belonging to European states; but not part of the geographical continent of Europe.
