He is recognized as the creator of the first modern atlas the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Theatre of the World. Along with Gemma Frisius and Gerardus Mercator Ortelius is generally considered one of the founders of the Netherlandish school of cartography and geography. He was a notable figure of this school in its golden age approximately 1570s–1670s and an important geographer of Spain during the age of discovery. The publication of his atlas in 1570 is often considered as the official beginning of the Golden Age of Netherlandish cartography.

In 1556 he left for Leipzig as tutor to the son of a great noble and there too he entered the university. In 1557 he drew his well-known map of Poland. He travelled to Italy and after his return in 1561 took orders. In 1564 he received the degree of Master of Arts at the Cracow University. He later became canon of the chapter in Wroclaw this post having been ceded on his behalf by his elder brother Jan when he became bishop of Olomouc in 1572. Waclaw Grodecki followed his brother to Moravia in 1566 and settled for good in Brno where later he became dean of the collegiate chapter. Being to the end of his life a devoted Catholic and a protector of the Jesuits he was a major figure of the counter-reformation movement in Moravia. He was a man of humble character and good-natured.

157221509Antwerpen: Platin 1572. Other. In excellent condition. 385 by 503mm 15 by 19 inches. Original antique copper engraving uncolored as published. This very decorative antique map shows Flanders from Greuelinge in the west to Brussels in the east and Schouwen in the north and Lens in the south. The corners of the oval map are engraved with the cardinal points. In the North Sea are 2 sailing ships that fire with cannons a decorative compass rose and a sea monster. The title is engraved in the center of a very nice cartoushe. Ortelius was born on 14 April 1527 in the city of Antwerp which was then in the Habsburg Netherlands modern-day Belgium. The Orthellius family were originally from Augsburg a Free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1535 the family had fallen under suspicion of Protestantism. Following the death of Ortelius's father his uncle Jacobus van Meteren returned from religious exile in England to take care of Ortelius. Abraham remained close to his cousin Emanuel van Meteren who would later moved to London. In 1575 he was appointed geographer to the king of Spain Philip II on the recommendation of Arias Montanus who vouched for his orthodoxy. He travelled extensively in Europe and is specifically known to have traveled throughout the Seventeen Provinces; in southern western northern and eastern Germany e.g. 1560 15751576; France 15591560; England and Ireland 1576; and Italy 1578 and perhaps twice or thrice between 1550 and 1558. Beginning as a map-engraver in 1547 he entered the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke as an illuminator of maps. He supplemented his income trading in books prints and maps and his journeys included yearly visits to the Frankfurt book and print fair where he met Gerardus Mercator in 1554. In 1560 however when travelling with Mercator to Trier Lorraine and Poitiers he seems to have been attracted largely by Mercator's influence towards the career of a scientific geographer.

158728094Antwerp: Ortelius 1587. Maps. Overall in very good condition. A very nice example of Ortelius' famous map of the Kingdom of Prester John with later hand color. It is from a Latin edition of Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum the first modern atlas of the world. <br /> <br /> Cartographica Neerlandica Background for Ortelius Map No. 175. The map is difficult to date. The following details correspond to the aforementioned bibliography - it is consistent with 175.2 as the coastline has hatching extended from about 3 to about 6 mm signifying from 1587 & beyond. The ship in the lower left corner has a vessel attached to its mast. In the first state this vessel has vertical hatching. Now this is changed to horizontal hatching. In this copy the frame around the map has curved oval hatching around its oval ornaments. The sea was not re-engraved in later editions and as they are strongly engraved in this copy it would indicate an earlier edition. There is a watermark of two crossed arrows measuring 10 cm in length. The last line of text on the verso reads "uerit vide Jacobum Nauarchum in sua epistola Asiatica & Gerardum Mercatorem in sua universali tabula. 89". <br /> "Ortelius 1579 is penciled on the verso by an unknown person but that is unknown.<br /> <br /> The map centers on "Africva" in a strange configuration which goes from the coast of Benin and the "Mare Aethiopicum" to the Arabian Sea titled "Barbaricus Sinus". Arabia Felix covers the area of Saudi Arabia and adjoining countries with the Red Sea between the Arabian Penninsula and the coast of Africa. Mecca Medina and Jerusalem are noted with large buildings indicating their importance and colored red.<br /> <br /> Prester John was a mythical African King waging a war against the Muslim Infidels from his Kingdom in Central Africa. Add the Byzantine Patriarch Crusaders Islamic Saracens the Portuguese and a fake letter for this For centuries from the receipt of a fake letter from Prester John to the Byzantine Patriarch Europeans searched for Prester John initially in Asia and later in Africa. The Crusaders hoped that Prester John would join with Europeans in the protection of the Holy Lands from the Islamic Saracens and in the protection of all Europe from the Mongols. In the late 1400s and early 1500s the Portugese searched for Prester John in East Africa through they did eventually find a Christian kingdom in Abyssinia. A dedication to King David of the Bible is in the upper left of map. Above the dedication is the coat of arms of Prester John. Elephants and other figures adorn the map. <br /> <br /> Copper engraving with period hand color 17.5 x 15" with wide margins. Text in Latin on the verso. Two small wormholes in the top margin.

159813293451598. A map of the Holy Land by Abraham Ortelius dated 1598 first issued in 1584 as a part of Theatrum Orbit Terrarium. In Very Good condition with age toning and a central crease. Matted but not framed. w 26.5 in. x h 22 in. Shelved at Rockville PS 1101 #25. Based on material collected by the Dutch Astronomer Peter Laicksteen who travelled to the Holy Land in 1556. Christian Sgrooten here written "Schrot" royal geographer to King Phillip II of Spain produced a nine-sheet map of Palestine in 1570 from Laikstain's information. This map was condensed into the present form by Abraham Ortelius. Ortelius the creator of the first modern atlas collected and edited maps from all over Europe for his book. Many of the original mapmakers rose to fame solely through Ortelius's decision to include their maps in his atlas. Laicksteen took thorough and accurate notes and the original Laicksteen and Sgrooten map contained improvements over earlier maps. For instance the River Kishon is here shown as flowing from the mountains near the Sea of Galilee not as was previously thought from the Sea of Galilee itself. However the Levantine coastline Sgrooten and Ortelius depicted is hardly recognizable to modern eyes. The map is replete with fanciful bays and peninsulas though some of the most recognizable features of the coastline such as the outcrops of land at Haifa and Beirut are absent. Ortelius had originally used another map of the Holy Land by cartographer Tilleman Stella in the early editions of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. It covered a far more extensive territory including part of Egypt and Syria. Oddly the coastline in this first map was much more accurate than in the Sgrooten map. Laicksteen and Sgrooten's original map included a small inset with an extended geography. However their mapping of the Dead Sea and surrounding areas was so controversial that Ortelius chose to leave out this region completely. The strange anecdote written in the Dead Sea is Ortelius's own addition. It describes how the Dead Sea was once a fertile valley but was transformed by an act of God into a barren sea to punish the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah. In the bottom left hand corner is a hand colored illustration of the story of Jonah. Above the luscious cartouche Ortelius has added three miniatures featuring the Crucifixion the Nativity and the Resurrection of Christ. The French text on the verso a long-winded description with little relevance to the map was changed to a more "reader-friendly" version shortly after the publication of this edition. 525 copies were made of this edition of Ortelius's map. 1329345.

1587239611Antwerp: Abraham Ortelius 1587. unbound. Map. Uncolored engraving. Image measures 14" x 19.5".<br/> <br/> These two maps on one sheet detail areas of western Mexico above and the Greater Antilles below. Ortelius created them from information compiled by other mapmakers such as Mercator Guttierez and Alsons de Sata Cruz. These sources allowed him to include a wealth of detailed information that is mostly if not entirely accurate. Above the map of western Mexico shows the area around Culiacan and the Spanish settlement of Villa S. Michaels which was notable in the period for its silver mines. It begins at the Yucatan and extends through the Cayman Magnus and the Caymanes. The map below illustrates the Greater Antilles including Cuba Hispaniola Jamaica St. Jois Insula St. Johns the Bahamas Virgin Islands and the Windward Islands all in impressive detail. The section of South Florida also shows suggestion of the Florida Keys which was uncommon for these period. A notable error is that the Tropic of Cancer is labelled as the Tropic of Capricorn. A highly decorative note with strapwork and foliage fills the acific Ocean to the left of Mexico and provides information about the upper map. The lower map also has a framed cartouche with birds perched atop it. Two ship illustrations float in the choppy seas around the islands. The map is a first state from the 1587 French edition of Ortelius's "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum." It is in good condition with no chips or tears. Stain at the center seam in the lower margin not affecting the image some overall stains. French text on verso. Abraham Ortelius 1527--1598 a Flemish cartographer and geographer is widely regarded as one of the important and influential cartographers in history. He is known for his "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" which was the first modern atlas. This map is an uncommon uncolored example of this wonderful map by Ortelius.<br/> <br/> Abraham Ortelius unknown
1579029357Antwerp: Christopher Plantin 1579. Soft cover. Bom / Good / Bon. 344x514 mm. 1 fólio. Retirado de "Theatrum Orbis terrarum". Adaptação do mapa de Fernando Ãlvares Secco. No verso possui texto em Latim intitulado "Portugalia Regnum" e a indicação da paginação: Fólio 16. De acordo com Van den Broecke - "Ortelius Atlas Maps an illustred guide" este exemplar é da tiragem Plantiniana de 1579 250 exemplares pois a última linha do texto: ad Chinam & Lequios per omnes prouincias maritimas insulasq.adiacentesextenditur e o primeiro R do segundo tÃtulo alinha à esquerda do primeiro R do primeiro tÃtulo. Abraham Ortelius nasceu em Antuérpia após a conclusão dos estudos em grego latim e matemática estableceu-se com as suas irmãs como coloristas de mapas dedicando-se mais tarde ao comércio de livros e moedas antigas. A publicação do seu "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" editado em Antuérpia em 1570 vai transformá-lo num dos mais importantes cartografos do Séc. XVI. Pela primeira vez uma obra reúne todos os elementos caracterÃsticos de um atlas é também o primeiro a ser composto por mapas bi-fólio de tamanho uniforme. A maior parte dos mapas foram gravados por Frans Hogenberg e inicialmente impressos por Aegidius Coppenium Diesth; a partir de 1579 passaram a ser impressos nas oficinas de Christophe Plantin. Ortelius no "Catalogus auctorum tabularum geographicarum" indica expressamente a autoria deste mapa como sendo de Fernando Ãlvares Seco. A gravura é inspirada quer na edição princeps quer na de Gerard de Jode do ano de 1565 nomeadamente a Cartela com a dedicatória feita por Aquiles Estaço a Guido Sforza. <br/> <br/> Christopher Plantin paperback
15958359Antwerp Plantin-Moretus 1595. Copper engraving 37 x 50 cms black and white small hole at centrefold Latin text to verso. Shirley notes that the map is a general improvement on the previous Mercator-Ortelius outline and draws attention to a detail which vividly suggests the personal involvement of the map-maker Welsh antiquary Humphrey Lluyd: the Caernarvon peninsula near Lluyds home town of Denbigh is badly distorted but it has been suggested very reasonably that this may have been due to Lluyds attempt to sketch this in by eye from the nearby mountains. Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum is generally considered the first modern atlas of the world originally published in 1570. Ortelius gathered and selected the best available cartographic knowledge and presented it in a single volume duly credited and finely engraved in a consistent style with explanatory text. The Theatrum was very decorative and hugely popular amongst the wealthy and educated running into over forty editions in Latin and the major European languages. Shirley British Isles 185.
