  • Title/Content of Map: 1535 Ortelius Map of Egypt and Carthage -- Aegypti Recentior Descriptio [on sheet with] Carthaginis Celeberrimi Sinus Typus

    This is a two map sheet of Upper Egypt and Carthage, or modern Tunis. Settlements, notably Alexandria, Cairo, and of course Carthage are shown together with many others. The Pyramids and the Carthage aqueducts appear on the two maps as well, together with topographic features. The map of Carthage also features several ships and Sea Monsters in Mediterranean Sea.

    Abraham Ortelius (1527 - 1598) was a Flemish cartographer & geographer, celebrated as the creator of the first modern atlas, the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Theatre of the World). Ortelius' work, the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, was the first uniformly sized, systematic collection of maps; this work can therefore be called the first atlas (although the term was not used until 20 years later by Mercator).
