About Abraham Ortelius

Abraham Ortelius (1527—1598) came to prominence during the latter part of the 16th century in Antwerp, Belgium. One of the great trading centers of Europe at the time, Antwerp proved to be fertile ground for the young Ortelius. Abraham Ortelius traveled widely and developed an intense interest in cartography. He is among the most important Dutch cartographers and is credited with publishing the first comprehensive world atlas, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum or The Theater of The World, which is a cornerstone of any cartographic collection.
