The work 'Atlas contractus' by Nicolas Sanson is a cartographic collection of maps with Latin titles and descriptions. While Nicolas Sanson's geographical works were widely adapted, translated, and published by English cartographers (such as Richard Blome and William Berry) in the late 17th century, these were distinct publications that adapted his maps and geographical data rather than direct translations of the 'Atlas contractus' Latin text itself. No evidence of a direct English translation of this specific Latin cartographic work was found in any of the searched catalogs.
