No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
The work in question is a 1594 cartographic map by Petrus Plancius. Cartographic works of this period consist of visual representations with minimal Latin text (labels, titles, and legends). While these maps are frequently discussed, analyzed, and reproduced in English-language histories of cartography (such as Rodney Shirley's 'The Mapping of the World'), there is no evidence of a formal, published English translation of the map's Latin text as a distinct literary or scholarly work. The map is a visual object, not a text-based work that undergoes 'translation' in the traditional sense. Therefore, it is confirmed that no English translation of this specific Latin text exists.
