	Abraham Ortelius - LoveToKnow 1911
		ABRAHAM ORTELIUS (ORTELS, WORTELS), next to Mercator the greatest geographer of his age, was born at Antwerp on the,4th of April 1527, and died in the same city on the 4th of July 1598.
		Errors, of course, abound, both in general conceptions and in detail; thus South America is very faulty in outline, and in Scotland the Grampians lie between the Forth and the Clyde; but, taken as a whole, this atlas with its accompanying text was a monument of rare erudition and industry.
		In 1596 he received a presentation from Antwerp city, similar to that afterwards bestowed on Rubens; his death and burial (in St Michael's Abbey church) in 1598 were marked by public mourning.

	Ortelius Atlas
		Abraham Ortelius, maker of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, is regarded as one of the most prominent geographers of the sixteenth century.
		Ortelius departed from the Italian model by placing far more emphasis on the explanatory quality of the text while giving nearly equal weight to all elements of the atlas.
		While not a scientific innovator, Ortelius is best remembered for his ability to gather an immense body of existing geographic knowledge and to publish it in a consistent and high-quality cartographic format: the atlas.

	Slide Set #2: Maps from the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum of Abraham Ortelius (1584)
		Abraham Ortels was born in 1527 at Antwerp, the great commercial city where he would live all his life.
		Ortelius became rich through his publishing and dealing activities, and in 1583 opened one of his houses as a museum, in which might be admired the many rich and curious objects which he had collected.
		Of course, it may be argued that Ortelius was chiefly interested in the northeastern area, where Prester John’s legendary kingdom was thought to lie somewhere in Ethiopia, and the eccentricities in the center of Africa would feature on maps for many years to come.
