First Translation
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
The item in question is a 16th-century maritime chart (map) by Petrus Plancius. Maps are visual documents rather than textual works that undergo 'translation' in the linguistic sense. While the map may have been included in larger geographical works like Linschoten's 'Itinerario' (which was translated into English), the map itself is a cartographic artifact, not a Latin text requiring translation. Therefore, the concept of a 'first English translation' does not apply to this item.
