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.

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.

15958572Antwerp Plantin-Moretus 1595. Copper engraving 32 x 49 cms three maps on one sheet: Anatolia or modern Turkey Egypt Tunis and ancient Carthage; modern hand colour conjugate wormhole at centrefold Latin text on verso. An engraved historical note on the map of Carthage indicates that nearby Tunis which is the focus of the map was captured for Christendom by the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain Charles V in 1535. A version of the truth perhaps as Charles reinstated the deposed Hafsid Sultan but a Spanish governor resided at Goletta for a generation. The map was first published in 1570 just after the city had fallen into Ottoman hands and although it was briefly recaptured Tunis had been Ottoman for 20 years by the time our example of the map was published.

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
