"All the elements of the modern atlas were brought to publication in Abraham Ortelius' "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum". This substantial undertaking assembled. the best available maps of the world by the most renowned and up-to-date geographers. each of Ortelius' maps was engraved specifically for his atlas according to uniform formats" Shirley. Effusively dedicated by Ortelius to Philip III of Spain 1578-1621 king of Spain and of Portugal as Philip II whose reign 1598-1621 was characterized by a successful and largely peaceful foreign policy in western Europe and internally by the expulsion of the Moriscos Christians of Moorish ancestry. The son of Philip II of Spain by his fourth consort and Habsburg cousin Anna of Austria. Philip III was pious benevolent and "highly virtuous in private conduct. After he became king Sept. 13 1598 he showed himself to be indolent and indifferent to his responsibilities. His father revealed his disappointment when he remarked that his son was unfit to govern the kingdoms God had given him and would instead be governed by them. In April 1599 the new king married his Habsburg cousin the Austrian archduchess Margaret. "From the beginning Philip placed affairs entirely in the hands of a favourite Francisco G�mez de Sandoval y Rojas marqu�s de Denia later the duke of Lerma-the first in a line of royal favourites who governed 17th-century Spain. Philip's government continued a policy of hostility to the Turks and in Italy it faced the rivalry of the Republic of Venice and the Duchy of Savoy. In the rest of western Europe however a Spanish policy of conciliation ruled. Peace in the West enabled the government to deal with the internal problem of the Moriscos and on April 9 1609 the decision was made for their expulsion which caused serious economic and demographic difficulties in certain areas. The peace was brought to an end by the outbreak 1618 of the Thirty Years' War in which Philip gave his unconditional support to the Holy Roman emperor Ferdinand II and the Catholic German princes. Remote from his subjects Philip spent huge sums on court entertainments and neglected Spain's growing economic problems which were to reach crisis proportions in the following reign. Having resided in Valladolid in the first years of his reign he eventually fixed his court in Madrid. After a visit to Portugal 1619 he suffered the first attack of an illness that two years later brought about his death" Encyclopedia Britannica online. Ortelius first published his "Theatrum�" arguably the first atlas in the modern sense of the word in 1570 with 70 seventy copper engravings on fifty-three double-folio pages. A businessman native to Antwerp Ortelius compiled the best existing maps re-engraved them on a standardized format and included them with the text in one volume. But by 1570 he had been dealing in maps and charts for more than twenty years. The death of Ortelius' father in 1535 who had been a wealthy merchant seems to have placed his family in financial difficulties. When Ortelius was as young as 19 he is recorded as having joined the Guild of St. Luke as 'afsetter' "or colourist of maps and prints. He seems to have reached a very advanced level of skill in this craft as some customers continued to insist on buying atlases coloured by him personally at a time when he had already developed into a publisher and cartographer/merchant� Ortelius also became a trader in books prints and maps. Much of this trading had to do with the house of Plantin subsequently publisher of the 'Theatrum'�Soon he was attending the book fair in Frankfurt to buy and sell books maps and prints for others as well as for himself. He first met Gerard Mercator there in 1554 which marked the state of a life-long professional relationship and personal friendship� " van den Broecke page 14. Through his work Ortelius became quite the cosmopolitan he travelled extensively to France Germany Switzerland Austria Hungary Italy England and Ireland and as a result had command of several languages. With the publication of the "Theatrum" came tremendous success and wealth. Giving full credit to the original cartographers the "Theatrum" was so successful that it was printed three times in 1570 alone. In 1574 Ortelius retained the position of Royal Cosmographer to Phillip II and was given a fine gold necklace worth 1000 ducats. Between 1570 and 1612 the atlas was published in 42 editions and the 7 languages: Latin German Flemish French Spanish English and Italian. Koeman Ort 41. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.

‎Theatrum Orbis Terrarum 1 Map only‎

‎Netherlands: Publisher Not Known 1570. a very good map 6 x 7"; Abraham Ortelius 1527-98. One of the first and greatest of the Dutch map makers. His "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" of 1570 is generally considered the first modern Atlas. For this work large copper plates were engraved and from time to time alterations were made in these plates as various editions were issued even as late as 1693-- long after Ortelius' death. These Maps are much favoured by collectors because of a quaint rather archaic quality of drawing. They are exceedingly decorative and careful examination of any one of them will disclose curious little fugures scenes or other decorations. This map is one of these original engravings with nice old colouring. This map will make a nice gift and is quite scarce. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good/No Dustjacket. 6 x 7".

From the library of Louis II duc de Bourbon-Vendome 1612-1669 son of C�sar duke de Vend�me legitimized son of King Henri IV of France and Fran�oise de Lorraine duchess of Mercoeur. He was duc de Mercoeur duc d'Estampes and later duc de Vend�me Peer of France and Prince of Martignes. In 1651 he married Cardinal Mazarin's niece but after her death in 1657 he took to holy orders and eventually became a cardinal in 1667 when he received the red hat and the deaconry of S. Maria in Portico Campitelli on July 18 1667. It his religious arms France a baton couped in bend sinister with crucifix on a spiked staff behind which are emblazoned in gilt on the front panel which probably dates from between 1657 and 1667 after he had taken to the religious life but before he was made cardinal. Notably Louis participated in the conclave of 1667 which elected Pope Clement IX whom he later represented at the christening of the Dauphin of France son of King Louis XIV January 16 1668. However as a young man his religious fervour had been expressed in a more militant fashion: from 1630 Louis served in Savoy with King Louis XIII of France he was a volunteer in Holland and fought in Lille during 1631 taking part in the battle of Avein Luxembourg in 1635 and in the siege of Corbie in1636 of Hesdin in 1639 and of Arras in 1640 and other major battles of the Thirty Years' War. After the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 he was Commander of the French troops until1651 being Viceroy in Catalonia in 1650. He was the Commander in Provence charged with repressing the final troubles of the Fronde in 1653 and in 1656 he successfully battled the duke of Modena . The news of his death reached Rome on August 22 1669. Koeman Ort 21; Shirley 122. Catalogued by Kate Hunter. Antwerp : Christopher Plantin, 1584. unknown‎

THE RARE ENGLISH EDITION OF ORTELIUS'S "THEATRUM" based on the Latin edition of Ortelius's atlas published by Vrients in 1603. Before sending the plates from Antwerp to England the versos were erased the English text then being printed at the Eliot's Court Press by Bradwood. The likely translator of the text from Latin into English is William Bedwell 1561-1632. With 161 maps and further five engraved plates the English "Theatrum" was "the tallest volume printed in England up to that date. also the largest collection of intaglio prints in a single book yet published in England" Skelton. Truusje Goedings renowned expert in Dutch colourists of the 17th-century writes of this copy: "Very de-luxe coloured copy contemporary coloured and heightened with gold and silver by one hand. The printer's borders initials and vignettes in the text were also coloured these more sober. Gold has been applied to several maps including the lettering on some. Vrients took prints of the copperplates himself for the whole English edition of ca. 160 maps and plates Parergon and Add. included and sent these to the London publisher Norton. Norton printed his English version of the text on verso and had all maps bound into one volume creating herewith the tallest volume with the largest amount of prints existing at the time in England. Coloured copies will have been very costly let alone de-luxe coloured copies. Therefore Norton will have organized the colouring in England. It was too costly to have it done in advance in Flanders. He will have arranged a master-model a good coloured copy obtained from Vrients in loose sheets. The colouring of this de-luxe copy is clearly based on the Flemish style with full colouring in warm hues variating in transparancy and combinations though it is less monumental and somewhat more precise. This might be due to regional preferences but also to a slightly less routined so a more careful handling which gives this colouring an extra value. Evident English traits are the brighter and lighter use of pigments and especially the use of a different green pigment in a brighter hue. This green is often seen in coloured maps of English provenance. It has been preserved much better than the somewhat heavier green applied in the Dutch Ortelius-editions that often turned into brownish yellow. The warm colour schemes and handling of the colours indicate a colouring around the time of publishing - and not in the time of the actual private binding dating from the end 17th century" Truusje Goedings.

‎Antwerp: Plantin-Moretus 1624. Copper engraving 36 x 48 cms modern hand colour Latin text on verso. Ancient Thrace extending from Macedonia to Byzantium following the cartography of Gastaldi supplemented by information from classical sources including Herodotus Strabo and Pliny. Our example was published by Balthasar Moretus at the Plantin Press in the final edition of the Parergon. Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum is generally considered the first modern atlas of the world originally published in 1570. Ortelius gathered and selected the best available cartographic knowledge and presented it in a single volume duly credited and finely engraved in a consistent style with explanatory text. The Theatrum was very decorative and hugely popular amongst the wealthy and educated running into over forty editions in Latin and the major European languages. For Ortelius himself however his accompanying atlas of ancient geography the Parergon was a "personal work" Koeman. He seems to have regarded himself first and foremost as an antiquary and rather than copying other people's maps he drew the originals himself; they were subsequently engraved for him by the master engraver Jan Wierix. The results �have to be evaluated as the most outstanding engravings depicting the wide-spread interest in classical geography in the 16th century� Koeman. Koeman Atlantes Neerlandici Ort 46.

Our example was published by Balthasar Moretus at the Plantin Press in the final edition of the Parergon. Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum is generally considered the first modern atlas of the world originally published in 1570. Ortelius gathered and selected the best available cartographic knowledge and presented it in a single volume duly credited and finely engraved in a consistent style with explanatory text. The Theatrum was very decorative and hugely popular amongst the wealthy and educated running into over forty editions in Latin and the major European languages. For Ortelius himself however his accompanying atlas of ancient geography the Parergon was a "personal work" Koeman. He seems to have regarded himself first and foremost as an antiquary and rather than copying other people's maps he drew the originals himself; they were subsequently engraved for him by the master engraver Jan Wierix. The results �have to be evaluated as the most outstanding engravings depicting the wide-spread interest in classical geography in the 16th century� Koeman. Koeman Atlantes Neerlandici Ort 46.

‎World map: Typus orbis terrarum‎

‎Antwerp: Plantin 1592. In good condition original central fold very slightly darkened. Engraved map 362 x 492 mm sheet size 465 x 590 mm; Latin text on verso; an excellent example mounted. The great cartographer Ortelius' major world map of great significance for the imagining of the Pacific and the Great Southern Land. One of the more remarkable aspects of the map is how fully it investigates the southern hemisphere mixing old speculations with the latest reports from Spanish and Portuguese voyagers in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. First published in 1570 this revision is from a slightly later Latin edition dated on the engraving 1587 but actually published around 1592 as part of Ortelius' great atlas project the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. This updated version includes some general improvements to the geography of the globe notably some small but significant changes to the waters near Australia including the moving of New Guinea further away from the landmass of the southern land tentatively suggesting the existence of a channel to the south of the island; the newly-discovered Solomon islands are shown for the first time correctly placed to the east of New Guinea. Four added medallions contain classical quotations and the decorative clouds of the earlier edition have been replaced by a strapwork border housing the cartouches. Among other changes the southwest coastline of South America has been reconfigured more accurately. Abraham Ortelius 1527-1598 had an early career as an engraver and a book dealer but partly through the encouragement of Gerardus Mercator turned to scientific geography in the 1560s; his Theatrum Orbis Terrarum was essentially the first and certainly the most influential modern atlas. His world map was based on a much larger and extremely rare wall-map by Mercator of 1569 but the accessible format of the Ortelius version meant that it would become the map that gave currency to the theories that would dominate scientific thinking for centuries. The central premise of the map the notion of the "balancing" of the top and bottom of the globe can clearly be seen by the two polar landmasses: a series of four large islands in the north pierced by great waterways that seem to go through to the pole and much more dramatically the massive "Terra Australis Nondum Cognita" at the bottom. The Great Southern Land is enriched with a series of partly fictional landfalls and displays as a complicated synthesis of classical geography the travels of Marco Polo Beach Lucach Maletur a garbled account of what had originally been a description of parts of South America as the "kingdom of the parrots" Psittacorum Regio a completely speculative reworking of what truly lay below the southern banks of the Straits of Magellan and lastly the partial knowledge of New Guinea and the surrounding waters. Of course while it is easy to dismiss the ways in which the map is a pastiche of early travellers' tales it has been the subject of endless speculation because parts of the imagined coastline are so suggestive of parts of northern and western Australia not formally mapped until the incursions of the Dutch in the seventeenth century.

‎Abraham Ortelius 1612. unbound. very good. Map. Engraving with hand coloring. Image measures 14" x 19.25".<br/><br/> This stunning 1612 map by Abraham Ortelius depicts the Western Hemisphere. At the time it was issued the coastal areas of the New World had been fairly well explored and Europeans were just beginning settlement and colonization. It is notable for depicting Spanish and Portuguese colonies in high detail for these powers were notoriously protective of their geographical surveys.<br><br>This is the first state of the third plate engraved for Ortelius's landmark map of the New World. It is distinguished from the first two plates by the lack of the bulge to the southwest coast of South America. Several other cartographic enhancements are apparent on closer inspections.<br><br>The Solomon Islands are depicted here for the first time since their discovery in 1568 by Alvaro de Mendana. The map identifies several places previously unpublished due to political reasons. These were provided to Ortelius by Haklyut on the basis of recent explorations. The nomenclature in California is also included.<br><br>Perhaps the most notable enhancements on the east coast is the Indian name Wingandkoa and an inlet just above possibly the first depiction of the Chesapeake Bay on a printed map reflecting early English efforts at Colonization in the Outer Banks of the Carolinas. <br><br> Based on Gerard Mercators 1569 World Map this map includes an abundance of cartographic speculation representing the knowledge of the region during the time. The kingdom of Quivira the supposed ancient city of gold in North America. Conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado searched for Quivira for several years to finally find it was no more than American Indian settlement of farming people. Terro del Fueggo first reached by Magellan is here shown to be part of the large speculated continent of Terra Australis that extends westward with the annotation "The southern of Magellanican land as yet unknown".<br><br>Other interesting annotations throughout include "Somewhere here there are islands which according to some have gold" and Patagonia shows a notation that suggests its inhabitants were giants.<br><br>The waters are ornamented with illustrations of ships and a sea monster. In earlier plates the ships are different. A large title cartouche is included in the bottom left. Another scale cartouche appears in the top left. Published in the 1612 or 1608 edition the map is identical in both editions of Ortelius' famous "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" which is historically considered the first modern atlas.
