"Britannia" was recognised as an important work of Renaissance scholarship, not only in England, but across the European "Republic of Letters". Camden considered having the 1586 "Britannia" printed in the Low Countries, and although that did not happen, the third edition of 1590, in addition to its London printing, was also published the same year in Frankfurt, and reprinted there in 1616. In 1612 parts were condemned by the Spanish Inquisition. An abridgement was published in Amsterdam in 1617 and reprinted in 1639; and versions of the text were also included in Joan Blaeu's "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (published in Amsterdam in 1645) and in Jan Janssonius's "Novus Atlas" (again published in Amsterdam, in 1646).
