English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work 'Nieuwe caerte van het wonderbaer ende goudrijcke landt Guiana' (1598) is a Dutch translation/adaptation of Sir Walter Raleigh's original English work, 'The Discovery of the Large, Rich, and Beautiful Empire of Guiana' (1596). Because the Dutch text is a derivative of the English original, it is not a work that would be translated *into* English; rather, it is the source material that was translated *from* English into Dutch. Therefore, there is no English translation of this specific Dutch text, as the English original already exists.
