Description
Foglio (cm 30X46) tratto dall'introduzione del Teatrum Orbis Terrarum di Ortelius, edizione italiana curata da Johannes Baptiste Vrients, con tre carte geografiche incise a dimostrazione dei diversi modi di rappresentare in piano la superficie terrestre.
Il Vrients, alla morte di Abrham Ortelius (1598) acquisto dalla tipografia Plantijn le lastre del Theatrum, che ristampò ampliandolo con proprie mappe.
Al centro della pagina, due diversi modi di rappresentare il planisfero (cm 11x11), secondo il sistema di Tolomeo, e secondo il sistema di Arzachele, nella traduzione di Gemma Friusius.
In basso, una Tavola d'Europa (cm 16,5x11), a illustrare la descrizione in piano di una parte specifica del globo terrestre.
Lievi ossidazioni, per il resto in ottime condizioni.

Between 1601 and 1612 he issued a number of editions which included some of his own maps and he was responsible for printing the maps for the English edition in 1606. He also published a number of important individual maps and a small atlas of the Netherlands.
