Show moreOld color example of Ortelius' map of the Middle East, from Egypt to modern-day Iraq, prominently featuring the Arabian Peninsula, and extending north of the Mediterranean from Turkey across Greece to Italy. Extracted from map of Asia in 1567 edition of Ortelius previous map, but this map with more detail based on Ortelius own map of Asia, which was in turn derived from Giacomo Gastaldis Il Disegno della Seconda Parte dellAsia (1561), for the Arabian detail. A description of the Ormus region is given in a blank space in Persia. Considered to be far superior to all previous maps of Asia, as it was informed by the published travels of Marco Polo, which appeared in Ramusios Navigationi et Viaggi (1550-59). Ortelius map features the Arabian Peninsula prominently and shows lands surrounding the eastern Mediterranean, with Italy in the northwest, southward to the east coast of Africa. The coastlines are fairly accurate, but the interiors are less defined and many of the rivers, lakes and mountain ranges bear mythological names from antiquity. The seas are richly embellished with sailing ships, with a great monster in the Black Sea.

Show moreThis is Ortelius uncommon first map of the Turkish Empire only used from 1570 until 1579. This is the best known of all the sixteenth-century maps of the Middle East, extending from Greece to Arabia and covering the Cradle of Civilization region. The Red Sea (Mare de Mecca) is shown relatively accurately whereas the Persian Gulf (Mare Elcatif) is misshapen due to the exaggerated Arabian shoreline. The map includes Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Greece. Based upon Gastaldi's wall map of Asia from 1567. Large and decorative title cartouche, extracted from the 1579 Latin edition of Ortelius famous Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern atlas of the world. Relief shown pictorially.
