The work in question is a 17th-century Dutch atlas by Nicolaus Visscher. Atlases of this period were primarily collections of maps with minimal text (often just titles and indices in Latin or Dutch). They were not "translated" in the literary sense; rather, individual maps were often re-issued or incorporated into English-language cartographic collections (like those of Moses Pitt or Christopher Browne). No evidence exists of a complete English translation of the Visscher Atlas as a distinct, unified text.
