Questions? Please call +46 70 766 79 81 for more information regarding this item.

Folio (42 by 30 cm). 138 engraved double-page maps, coloured by a contemporary hand, + one engraved view, including the Parergon.
(106 engraved maps (of a total of 118); Parergon: Woodcut title-leaf, (4), 12 pp. + 32 engraved maps + one engraved view).

Originally published in 1570, this 1601 Latin edition of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (the Theatre or Picture of the World), is almost the same as that of 1595, with the exception of three extra maps with signatures 25*, 25** and 25***; theses maps are (136), (137), and (138).

Plates engraved by F. Hogenberg, Ferdinand and Ambrosius Arsenius, Jan Wierix (Parergon). Includes: "Parergon, siue, Veteris geograpiae [sic] aliquot tabulae", "Nomenclator Ptolemaicus", "De Mona Druidum insula ... epistola ... Humfredi Lhuyd". Parergon has special engraved title-leaf.

In addition to the contemporary maps, the second sequence of maps (Parergon) includes representations of the Holy Land, the Roman empire, and the lands traveled by Jason, Ulysses, Aeneas, Abraham, Alexander, and St. Paul. Includes one view of the paradise Daphne, a mythological place in Syria.

'The Picture of the World' , is the first large modern atlas and a landmark in cartographic publication. The Theatrum was an immediate success and the Plantin press published a long series of editions between 1570 and 1624.

"The rediscovery of Ptolemy's 'Geography' in 1410, combined with great geographical discoveries of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, stimulated the drawing of maps and charts of the old and new worlds. While cartographers like Mercator were interested in new techniques of map-making, men like Ortelius, scholar though he was, were primarily publishers, appealing to the ever-increasing public demand for descriptions and maps of know and unknown lands. He developed a wide circle of acquaintances among European cartographers, whose maps he began publishing some years before he collected them into the Theatrum." ... "THe true measure of Ortelius's achievement, however, was the practical success of his atlas. It cinvincingly demonstrated his belief that no literate person should be without knowledge of geography, and the letterpress which accompanied the maps was designed to appeal not merely to those interested in pure geography. if every home now owns an atlas of some sort, it is due ultimately to the conviction and example of Ortelius"(PMM).
