It is this unique map which has been here reproduced.

van den vermaerden astronomo Tycho Brahe, gecalculeert ende gestelt op

Baudet finds that, from the octroi or patent, this was probably issued
in 1605. There does not appear to be a copy of this work extant.

de toutes les costes et havres de la Mer Occidentale, Septentrionale
et Orientale ... Par Guilliaume Janszoon. Amst., Guill. Jansz ... 1619.

Janszoon. Amst., ghedr. bij Willem Janszoon ... 1620.
Baudet finds that the first and second volumes of this work must have
been issued first in 1608, there being a reference to the same in a
resolution of the States General of that year.
