Abraham Ortelius was a Flemish scholar who moved to Antwerp to become a bookseller and cartographer. This map of ancient Spain is from his PARERGON published as an appendix to the THEATRUM ORBIS TERRARUM the world's first true atlas as well as the most authoritative and commercially successful atlas of the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

1624ref. 8030Antwerp: Plantin-Moretus 1624. Copper engraving 37.5 x 49.5 cms modern hand colour small burn hole in table of peoples and places Latin text on verso. 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.

Abraham Goos 1590 c. 1643 was a Dutch cartographer publisher and engraver. He made globes maps of North America a comprehensive map of European coastlines and the first printed Hebrew language map of The Holy Land. His first teacher was Jodocus Hondius 15631612 a renowned map-maker whose son-in-law was Johannes Janssonius. After Hondius died his son-in-law Jan Janssonius took over Hondius's business and continued the partnership with Goos. One of Hondius' specialties was the manufacture of globes and Goos and Janssonius continued this regularly modifying them as more geographical information became available. In 1616 he published Nieuw Nederlandtsch Caertboeck an atlas of the Seventeen Provinces in 23 maps and one of the first atlases of the Netherlands; Johannes Janssonius 1588-1664 was a renowned geographer and publisher of the seventeenth century when the Dutch dominated map publishing in Europe. unknown
