Image area 19-1/2" x 12-7/8" in 28" x 23" mat. 1 vols. Abraham Ortelius 1527-98 was a Flemish geographer of German origin. His major work Theatrum Orbis Terrarum 1570 with later revisions and addendums was the first modern atlas. It was based on contemporary charts and maps and contained a collection of plates engraved by Frans Hagenberg in a uniform size and format. The Theatrum preceded the first atlas of Ortelius' good friend Gerardus Mercator. In fact popular sentimental legend has it that Mercator delayed publication of his own work so that his younger friend's would appear first. Although this simply isn't true Mercator wasn't ready the legendary cartographer did complement Ortelius for the "care and elegance" he had put into the Theatrum. unknown books

His writings were commended both by Thomas Nashe and by Francis Meres. In this work he follows the Ramist principles he also employed in other works providing literary examples to demonstrate principles of logic. Here however he expands the approach by using common law cases from Plowden and others. ESTC S102621 . At London, Imprinted by William How, for Thomas Gubbin, and T. Newman, hardcover

1579200024AG1579. Antwerp Ortelius 1579. Original hand-coloured engraving. Plate Size: 49.3 cm x 35.3 cm. Sheet Size: 53.1 cm x 42 cm. Original map. Very good condition with some signs of browning to the outer margins only. Slight creasing to the top right coner of map. Professionally repaired tear to lower centre fold barely noticeable given the quality of the workmanship. Latin text on reverse. Broecke 14ab.2; Koeman III 95299610:31; Wolff America S. 95; Lowery 65. A pair of stunning maps from the late 16th Century Theatrum Orbis Terrarum showing the northwest Pacific coast of Mexico and the Greater Antilles in the Caribbean. All these regions were first explored and settled by the Spanish in the 1490s and still under Madrid's control when Ortelius produced his renowned cartographic work. Among the settlements shown on the Mexican map are Culiacan and the Spanish settlement of Villa S. Michaelis with its cathedral clearly marked. Reliefs are depicted pictorially with mountains and rivers identified and a large forest/grove also shown. A large but narrow island lies just off the coast. Large decorative cartouche with Ortelius's characteristic ornamental straps lies of the coast with explanatory annotations in Latin text. Smaller title cartouche in the top right corner of map also. The map below illustrates the Greater Antilles including the Cayman Magnus and the Caymanes Cuba 'Aity sive Spaniola' Hispaniola Jamaica the Bahamas 'St. Jois Insula' St. Johns Virgin Islands and the Barbados Islands all in fine detail. Havana is clearly identified along with other major settlements throughout the islands. St. Lucia is just about included lying within the map border. The section of South Florida also shows suggestion of the Florida Keys which was uncommon for this era. To the west Yucatan can be seen breaching the map boundary. A decorative title cartouche beautifully adorned with two birds lies at the lower part of the map. Unlike the waters of the Mexican map above it the seas of this map appear choppy for the two ships depicted. Valuably laden Spanish galleons would have traversed these stretches of water bringing the riches of the New World across the Atlantic to Spain. Making use of a knowledge of Greek Mythology two particularly perilous areas are designated: amid the Bahamas a treacherous stretch of water is labelled 'Carybdis Magna' while off to the west of Hispaniola lies the dangerous 'Scyila Magna.' An interesting cartographic error is evident on both maps: the Tropic of Cancer is mislabeled as the southern 'Tropicus Capricorni'.

1584676Antwerp: Abraham Ortelius 1584. 19 1/4. x 13 1/2 inches. Very good condition but for the scraped of nude of a woman leaving a thin paper with small hole. This is a 1584 map of the area around Cremona Italy. The map has a large cartouche. In this case the nude statue of a woman has been scraped of with the loss of paper. /It obviously offend the sensibilities of the clerics from which this map was sourced. A very nice map it has a high profile illustration of Cremona. The River Po is well illustrated in this map. There is a bounty of small towns proximate to this city. Abraham Ortelius unknown

Notes: Latin Text on verso.<br>From Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Atlas Ortelius's influential map of continental Asia after Gastaldi. "While the Mediterranean coastline and the southern coastline of Asia are fairly accurate the eastern and northern coastlines are erroneous. Especially the north-western parts with the Japanese island group is quite mis-presented. Also many errors in placenames e.g. Meppo for Aleppo. . There is no doubt about the Italian source for this map viz. Gastaldi." Brandmair. Size : 372x492 mm 14.65x19.37 Inches Coloring: Original Hand Coloring Reference: Van Den Broecke #7.

158461175<p>hand-coloured copper engraving. verso: Spanish text. EXTREMELY RARE.</p><p>The first European map of China appeared in Abraham Ortelius's atlas " Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" showing the area of Canton Mindanao no Luzon some islands to the North but only CuboCebu is marked and part of Japan – Spanish edition. An extremely important map for the Philippines here in the first state: there is no indication yet of' 'Las Philippinas' as will be shown later in the second state on the long elongated island just north of Borneo in the position and orientation of Palawan but apparently not based on Spanish knowledge.<br />Ortelius was a notable Dutch cartographer and the publication of this atlas in 1570 marked an epoch in the history of cartography. It was the first uniformly sized systematic collection of maps of the countries of the world based only on contemporary knowledge since the days of Ptolemy & in that sense may be called the first modern atlas; although that term itself was not used until 20 years later by Mercator. The Theatrum was re-issued in 42 editions with 5 supplements with text in Latin Dutch German French Spanish Italian & English between the years 1570-1612. The protrusion of a Southern landmass initially called 'Beach' by Marco Polo is shown South of "Java Major" alluding to Australia.
