Ortelius: Antique Map of Mediterranean Islands, 1624

Item Details

Description

Map: Creta Iouis magni, medio iacet insula ponto.

Cartographer: Abraham Ortelius

Printing Date: 1624

Medium: Copperplate engraved map.

Size: 18.5 x 23

Publisher: Antwerp: Officina Plantiniana, Balthasar Moretus

Series: Theatrum Orbis Terrarum

Genuine 17th century engraved map.

Fantastic map of islands of the Mediterranean by Ortelius; a large map of Crete is at the bottom half of the sheet, with smaller maps of Corsica, the Greek Islands and Sardinia. Accompanying Latin text is on verso.

Abraham Ortelius (1527 - 1598) was a Flemish cartographer & geographer, celebrated as the creator of the first modern atlas, the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Theatre of the World). Ortelius' work, the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, was the first uniformly sized, systematic collection of maps; this work can therefore be called the first atlas (although the term was not used until 20 years later by Mercator).
