"For the French names on the Florida coast Visscher appears to have based his map on Mercator's Virginiae item et Floridae ... nova descriptio 1606. The plate appears to be the same used with the same title by Janssón, 1642; Guilielmus Blaeu, 1644; Johannis Blaeu, 1667; Valck and Schenk, 1710 (?")--cf. Philip Lee Phillips.
