The map, a copperplate engraving, shows the entirety of the Arabian Peninsula and parts of Africa and Persia. Details of the topography of the interior are almost completely fanciful though the place names having been based upon reports of travelers and traders are of great historical interest.

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. Latin text on verso, Abraham Ortelius map of the Middle East, Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean is the best known of all the 16th-century maps of the Ottoman Empire. Relief shown pictorially.
