The work in question is a specific nautical map engraved by Arnoldus F. ab Langren, titled 'Delineatio orarum maritimarum', which was included as a plate in Jan Huygen van Linschoten's 'Itinerario' (1596). While the 'Itinerario' itself was translated into English (e.g., by William Phillip in 1598), the map is a visual/cartographic document with Latin inscriptions. There is no evidence of a separate English translation of the map's Latin text, nor is it standard to consider the inclusion of a map in a translated book as a 'translation' of the map itself. Therefore, this specific Latin cartographic work has not been translated into English.
