	Abraham Ortelius - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		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 1575 he was appointed geographer to the king of Spain, Philip II., on the recommendation of Arius Montanus, who vouched for his orthodoxy (his family, as early as 1535, had fallen under suspicion of Protestantism).

		The death of his father in 1535, who had been a wealthy merchant, seems to have placed the family in difficulties, for Ortelius began to trade or peddle geographical charts and maps while still a mere youth.
		Ortelius has combined in this work in a systematic manner all recent maps of the world and separate countries, of which he had heard during his long activity as trader and collector.
		One of the fruits of his restless activity as a collector of archæological specimens was his pamphlet: "Deorum, Dearumque Capita e veteribus numismatibus" (1575), which contained a number of reproductions from his widely admired archæological collection.

	Background information on Ortelius Atlas Maps
		Then, there may be a short discussion on possible changes in the size and borders of the country or area under discussion, the characteristics of its most prominent cities, their products and salient features, the history of the inhabitants, their religion, and any miracles that may be connected to the area.
		Sometimes, when sources disagree, Ortelius takes sides and tells why, sometimes he professes his ignorance in the matter and leaves it to the reader himself, usually called student of geography, to choose what he likes best.
		I think the answer to this question is mundane: in spite of the fact that Ortelius invariably addresses his reader as being "studious in geography", he knew that many of the readers and buyers of his atlas were not so much interested in geographical truth, but rather in exciting, exotic wonders and miracles.
