Historical notes:
Ortelius was the creator of the first true atlas (defined as a collection of uniform map sheets and sustaining text bound to form a book for which copper printing plates were specifically engraved). Frequently revised, this particular atlas was the last one to be printed during Ortelius's lifetime and was derived from Gerard Mercator's world map of 1569.
