[edit]DescriptionOrtelius 1570 preface.tif |
English: ORBIS TERRARUM
This Map comprehends and displays an image of the whole Earth and the Ocean surrounding it. The Ancients, (who were as yet surely ignorant of the New World), divided the whole World into three parts, that is, Africa, Europe, and Asia; but our age has added to it America, a fourth part; and a fifth part lying beneath the South Pole, awaits. Gerard Mercator, the Coryphaeus [leader] of the Geographers of our time, in his never sufficiently praised Universal Map, divides the Earth into three Continents: the first of which he so calls, is what we say was for the ancients tripartite, and from whence the human race, according to Holy Writ, took its origin; the second is what we today call America or the West Indies; the third is called Terra Australis, which some call Magellanica, but only a few shores of which has yet been revealed. |
