Rare early edition of Ortelius' revolutionary atlas first published in Antwerp in 1570 also a Latin edition. Ortelius' atlas was revolutionary because it was the first attempt to present the geography of the world in a uniformly produced collection of maps of all known parts of the world. Ortelius designed the maps himself basing his designs on the cartographic sources that he had at hand and equally revolutionary also mentioning his sources on the maps and once finished had them engraved by Frans Hogenberg and Ambrosius and Ferdinand Aertsen. Finally Gielis Coppens van Diest printed the maps after which they could be coloured also in a uniform style and bound in a logical order in one volume. These atlases were a new phenomenon and proved to be very popular in Europe. Soon editions were published in various languages of Europe in print runs of a few hundred copies each. Few maps are slightly finger-stained in the wide margins. Contemporary vellum binding with some scratches and stains. Overall a remarkable copy of this famous atlas in beautiful contemporary colours. Van den Broecke estimates that of this 2nd Latin edition approximately 275 copies were printed.

Really clean and crisp. Generous margins. Reverse recto carries Latin text. Shirley 176; Broecke 186.1; Koeman III 0800H:31. Beautifully unusual and richly decorated map of the Ancient World based upon the work of Claudius Ptolemy from Ortelius' Parergon 'Supplement'. The depicted land masses of Europe Africa and western Asia are largely in their modern configurations although the place names on the map are based upon Ptolemy. The southern portion of Africa is missing and China is not included on the map. A small number of cities including Hispalis Seville Lutetia Paris Rome Byzantium Istanbul Hierusalem Jerusalem Alexandria and Memphis are identified. Relief shown pictorially. The mythical Luna Montes Mountains of the Moon - the fabled source of the Nile - can be seen in the southern half of Africa. Madagascar is also included. The climate zones are shown as 'Zona frigida et inhabitablis' 'Zona temperata et habitabilis' and 'Zona torrida et ob Solis nimium fervorem a veteribus inhabitabilis credita.' The tropics and Arctic and Antarctic circles are also shown. The 'Zona frigida' lying above the Arctic Circle and the region lying at the Equator are described as being inhospitable. The border of the globe carries longitudinal and latitudinal information. The outer areas of the map are decoratively patterned and there is one inset roundel map in each corner showing the different continents depicting in clockwise order Europe Asia Africa and the Americas. Ortelius' characteristic strapwork design ornaments the title cartouche above the globe as it does the cartouche seen beneath it. It bears the inscription: "En Spectator Pilae Totius Terrae Ichnographiam at Veteribus Usque ad Annum Salutis Nonagesimum Secundum Supra Milles Quadrigent. Cognitae Tantum Geographiam." Immediately underneath the illustrated landmass is a further cartouche similarly ornamented decorated with two lion heads and bearing an oval inset statement of responsibility in Latin script. The Parergon was conceived initially as a supplement to Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Theatre of the World. The work a vast and finely researched index of the Classical world was accompanied by a number of ancient world maps. Unlike the maps of the Theatrum the majority of which were reductions of earlier maps the maps of the Parergon were researched and drawn by Ortelius himself. The work was a great commercial success and the maps themselves set the standard for ancient world maps for the duration of the 17th Century. Abraham Ortelius was a Flemish cartographer and geographer conventionally recognized as the creator of the first modern atlas the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Theatre of the World. He was one of the most notable figures of the Dutch school of cartography during its golden age approximately 1570s-1670s. unknown
