Abraham Ortelius, the Flemish humanist, geographer, and publisher shaped early modern cartography through the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, first issued in 1570 and widely regarded as the first modern atlas. The 1598 edition reflects the maturity of this ambitious project: a carefully organized corpus of engraved maps with accompanying explanatory text, produced for an international learned audience alike. Published in Antwerp, the map demonstrates Ortelius’s commitment to revision, expansion, and editorial coherence. It stands as a landmark of late sixteenth-century geographical scholarship and of Antwerp’s central role in European print culture.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
