	Theatrum Orbis Terrarum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theatrum Orbis Terrarum ("Theatre of the World") is considered to be the first true modern atlas.
		Written by Abraham Ortelius and originally printed on May 20, 1570, in Antwerp, it consisted of a collection of uniform map sheets and sustaining text bound to form a book for which copper printing plates were specifically engraved.
		After the initial release of Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, Ortelius regularly revised and expanded the atlas, reissuing it in various formats until his death in 1598.

	Abraham Ortelius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1570 (May 20) was issued, by Gilles Coppens de Diest at Antwerp, Ortelius’ Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the "first modern atlas" (of 53 maps).
		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.
		The Theatrum Orbis Terrarum inspired a six volume work entitled Civitates Orbis Terrarum edited by Georg Braun and illustrated by Frans Hogenberg with the assistance of Ortelius himself.

	Civitates orbis terrarum - Braun and Hogenberg
		The first volume of the Civitates Orbis Terrarum was published in Cologne in 1572.
		Braun (1541-1622), a cleric of Cologne, was the principal editor of the work, and was greatly assisted in his project by the close, and continued interest of Abraham Ortelius, whose Theatrum Orbis Terrarum of 1570 was, as a systematic and comprehensive collection of maps of uniform style, the first true atlas.
		The Civitates, indeed, was intended as a companion for the Theatrum, as indicated by the similarity in the titles and by contemporary references regarding the complementary nature of two works.
