Show moreAbraham Ortelius (1527-1598) was a Flemish cartographer and central figure at the pinnacle of Dutch cartographic science during the Age of Discovery. He was famously the first to publish a printed collection of maps with the title of atlas. This map depicts the entire continent of Asia. The Red Sea is given the alternative name of Arabian Gulf and the Gulf is given the alternative name of Mar Mesendin, or Sea of Mesendin, now known as Musandam, a governate in Oman. Relief shown pictorially Descriptive text on verso in Latin This is a new plate of the 1570 map, copied word for word. In the Arabian Peninsula the name Ara, a city at the mouth of the Red Sea, has been omitted, while Medina Tallnabi becomes Medina, the word Tallnabi being moved to the left to cover a formerlu nameless town south of Jabul. From "Theatrum orbis terrarum" by Abraham Ortelius (Antwerpen : Plantijn, 1579).

Relief shown pictorially Scale in graph. Form. A decorative boldly engraved map from a Latin text edition of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, renowned as the first world atlas. This map appeared in all editions of the atlas, from 1570-1612. A map rich in place names, obviously based on Italian sources as they were frequent travellers to this part of the world. An interesting error is the depiction of the Caspian Sea as linger and narrower than in reality, while the number of big rivers flowing into the Persian Gulf and Caspian is exaggerated.
