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 atlas was the last one to be printed during Ortelius's lifetime.
The map of the Pacific Ocean, which first appeared in 1590, delineates the west coast of North America more accurately than any other printed map to date, and may be based on an unrecorded Spanish voyage.
Derived from Gerard Mercator's world map of 1569 with details from some 25 Portuguese manuscript maps of Barolomeo de Lasso.
