Theatrvm orbis terrarvm Ortelius, Abraham, 1527-1598. (2nd ed. Antverpie : Apud A.C. Diesth, Publisher: Antverpie: Apud A.C. Diesth Publication Author: Ortelius, Abraham, 1527-1598 Pub Date: 1570 When the Theatrum orbis was first printed in 1570, Europeans had never visited much of the world. Ortelius, one of the greatest early cartographers, was not an experienced traveler or explorer. Instead he was an enthusiastic reader, researcher, and assembler of the travel literature of his time. All early editions of Ortelius Atlas' are  very rare, but in the case of this 1584 edition from the Plantin Press, the scarcity is extreme. This edition is the first from Plantin Press and, thus, the first issue of these fine map plates. It contains nineteen more maps than any other edition until 1598, when the Plantin Press made another issue from the same plates. Nine maps show America, and all show California correctly as a peninsula. The coloring of the plates was not only done at the press, but actually by Ortelius' maiden sisters who worked at the press for this particular production.

1595 Mercator Atlas "Atlas sive Cosmographicae meditationes de fabrica mvndi et fabricati figvra" (Atlas, or Cosmographic Meditations on the Fabric of the World and the Figure of the Fabric) 3 parts in 1 volume, 107 color maps, text in Latin The first two parts of the "Atlas" were published in 1585 and 1589: they covered France, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and the Balkans. The third and final part was left unfinished on Mercator's death; his son completed the work. Gerardus Mercator can certainly be called the best known cartographer of the sixteenth century and pehaps in history. What he is be known for is a technique of representing the oval shape earth on a flat surface, known as "Mercator's projection," that was first used for a 1569 world map. This copy of Mercator's Atlas is exceptional for its beautiful hand-coloring. These are simply some of the most beautiful maps ever made. The original 1595 edition of Mercator's Atlas is held in the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection in the Rare Book Division of the Library of Congress. This CD includes the actual pages of this rare book from cover to cover in all their original brilliance.
