CARTOGRAPHER: Abraham Ortelius (Antwerp, 1527-1598). In 1570 issued the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern Atlas with uniformly sized maps in a systematic collection. The term Atlas was not used until Mercator introduced it 20 years later. Most of the maps in Theatrum engraved by Frans Hogenberg. At the time of publication, the atlas was the most expensive book ever printed.
