Het nieu en compleet paskaartboek van de Noord en Oost-zee; alles volgens de naaukeurigste waarnemingen afgetekend.
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple scholarly and library catalogs (including local catalogs, Google Books, and Internet Archive) yielded no evidence of an English translation for Johannes Loots' 1697 maritime atlas, 'Het nieu en compleet paskaartboek van de Noord en Oost-zee'. Such technical maritime atlases from the late 17th century were primarily functional tools for Dutch navigators and were not typically translated into English as complete publications. Given the lack of any record of an English edition, it is highly probable that no such translation exists.

Joannes Loots claims most 17th-century maps were dangerous lies built on flawed compass readings. This atlas offers a corrective, prioritizing actual observation over the inherited errors of his rivals. Sailors and historians will find a sharp, technical critique of how we once perceived the northern seas.
