The text is by Vooght, with contributions in volume 2 by Jan van Loon. Translated into French by Pierre François Sylvestre. See Koeman.
With allegorical added engraved title pages for each volume, by Jan Luiken. All have variant imprint, the last two digits of the date completed in manuscript: "Imprimé a Amsterdam, par Jean van Ceulen ... 1736." Volume 5 is dated 1724, the final edition of the French text.
Description based on the Yale Center for British Art copy, which contains a sixth volume, with the engraved title page (dated 1736) but without the letterpress title page or text -- anticipating the sixth volume published in 1753 (with charts of the Indian Ocean and the Malay Archipelago). This phenomenon is described in Koeman, page 364.
The text of the atlas is in French; the titles of the maps are mostly in Dutch.
All copies of the atlas vary in contents (see Van Keulen cartography, Amsterdam 1680-1885, page 189). The present description is based on the Yale Center for British Art copy, which contains a sixth volume, with the engraved title page (dated 1736) but without the letterpress title page or text -- anticipating the sixth volume published in 1753 (with charts of the Indian Ocean and the Malay Archipelago). This phenomenon is described in Koeman, page 364.

BAC Folio A 2023 47: Volume five includes six double-folio manuscript maps, five of them signed by Gerard van Keulen. They depict Tierra del Fuego and Cape Horn; the island of Chiloe off Chile; the port of Poulo Condore on the island of the same name (now called Con Dao) off the coast of Vietnam; the gulf of Panama; the Solomon Islands (Guadalcanal, Isabella, and others); and the port of Acapulco in Mexico (with a plan of the town). They were probably made for the Dutch East India Company, for which the van Keulens remained chartmakers until its liquidation in 1799. See: Fairman (2001).
