	Antique Map Plancius the World
		Plancius' map had a widespread influence on other map-makers and it was issued unchanged throughout the various editions of Linschoten's Itinerarium from 1599 onwards.
		Petrus Plancius and Jan van Doetichum, whose signature is visible at the lower left, worked together on many map productions and this is one of their best known.
		The changes Plancius made both to Mercator's map and to his own precursors of the 1594 map seen to have been introduced partly to make the idea of a sea route to Asia through the arctic appear more attractive, for Plancius was waging a personal campaign to promote Dutch penetration into Far Eastern markets.

	PLANCIUS, Petrus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Plancius was a theologian and minister of the Dutch Reformed Church who fled with many of his compatriots from religious persecution in Flanders to settle in Amsterdam in 1585.
		There he became interested in navigation and cartography and, being fortunate enough to have access to nautical charts recently brought from Portugal, he was soon recognized as an expert on the shipping routes to India.
		Although Plancius produced no atlases his individual maps and charts, over 100 in all, exercised much influence on the work of other cartographers at the turn of the century.

		As the accuracy of astronomical observations improved and fainter stars were charted, the opportunities grew for innovators to introduce new constellations even among the area of sky known to the ancient Greeks.
		These three Plancius constellations are still accepted by astronomers, but his other inventions fell by the wayside (see Chapter Four).
		Eleven more constellations were introduced later in the 17th century by the Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius (1611–87), filling the remaining gaps in the northern sky.

		For example, it was the 1598 globe of Plancius that first utilized the new star positions of Tycho Brahe and introduced the new southern constellations, five years before Bayer incorporated both features into his Uranometria.
		These maps capture some of the scale of the globes; if one of the planispheres were wrapped onto a sphere, it would produce a globe about 26 cm in diameter, or 2/3 the size of a typical Blaeu/Plancius globe.
		In fact, Plancius had invented a new constellation, Cancer Minor, the little crab, and Cellarius included that also (see left), along with a number of other newly-coined Plancius constellations.

		In subsequent discussions it became apparent that Arminius had doubts about Article 16 of the Belgic Confession, the article concerning divine election; however, Arminius pledged to adhere to what was taught in the Confession, something which he claimed to have been doing all along.

		The constellation was introduced in 1613 by the dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius but it's first appearance in an atlas was not until 1624, when Jacob Bartsch placed it on his map.
		There are no clear mythologies associated with Monoceros, although it's likely Plancius meant it to represent the fabled Unicorn of the Old Testament.
		Monoceros contains no major bright stars but can be found to the left of Orion and just above Canis Major in the night sky.
