Jacob van Deventer's 1558 map, 'Hollandiae Batavorum veteris insulae et locorum adiacentium exacta descriptio', is a cartographic work. While it is a significant historical document often discussed in scholarly literature on Renaissance cartography, there is no evidence of a formal English translation of the map's Latin text or legends as a standalone work or a complete textual translation. Scholarly discussions typically analyze the map's content rather than providing a full translation of its Latin inscriptions.
