No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple scholarly and library catalogs (including local catalogs, Google Books, Internet Archive, and the Library of Congress) yielded no evidence of an English translation of Sibrandus Leonis's 'Frisia Occidentalis'. While the text was included in Abraham Ortelius's 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum', which was translated into English in the 17th century, the specific Latin text by Sibrandus Leonis has not been independently translated or published as an English work. Therefore, this remains a first translation.
