From an early Dutch text edition of this landmark contribution to the science of navigation.
Waghenaer's own personal experiences as a pilot along European coasts were used to compile the Spiegel der Zeevaerdt, the first edition which was published in Dutch at Leyden in 1584/85 by the house of Plantin. Although advertised as published in 1584 according to Koeman this edition was more likely printed in 1585.
The chart is engraved by the famous artists Baptist and Johannes van Deutecom.
