No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
The work 'Atlas minor sive Totius orbis terrarum contracta delinea[ta] ex conatibus Nic. Visscher' is a 17th-century cartographic atlas. Cartographic works of this period, particularly atlases, were typically collections of maps with minimal accompanying text, often in Latin, which were not 'translated' in the literary sense. No evidence of an English translation of this specific atlas was found in any of the searched catalogs. The metadata suggestion that Visscher's maps were 'widely used' in English composite atlases refers to the reuse of the plates, not a translation of the atlas itself.
