Oxford dictionary of national biography online, 5 August 2019 Ortelius, Abraham (Ortelius, Abraham (1527-1598); map maker; born at Antwerp 4 April 1527 (his grandfather Wilhelm Ortels had migrated from Augsburg to Antwerp); spent life in Antwerp; became a lifelong friend of his cousin Emanuel van Meteren, who would later settle in London; in 1547, admitted to Antwerp's Guild of Saint Luke as an illuminator of maps; assisted by sisters, soon traded in books, prints, and maps; dealer and collector of maps; went to Frankfurt book fairs, where made contact with Gerardus Mercator in 1554; travelled widely in Low Countries, France, Italy, Germany, England, and Ireland; became one of leading humanists of Low Countries; extensive network of correspondence with many European intellectuals; numerous contacts in England, including William Camden, Richard Hakluyt the elder, naturalist Thomas Penny, puritan controversialist William Charke, and map maker Humphrey Llwyd; friend of Christophe Plantin; eventually started making maps himself; wall maps, first of the world (1564); in 1570, published Theatrum orbis terrarum, considered to be the first modern atlas, handy collection of maps of the same dimensions providing a survey of the world as known up to that moment; most editions of popular version of Theatrum, pocket atlas, known under title Epitome; more map editor than original cartographer, obtained maps and information from best authorities for compilation of his atlas; as humanist, a pioneer in construction of historical maps related to ancient world, which he designed himself, in Parergon, an appendix to Theatrum (from 1579), published separately in 1624; compiled catalogue of all place names listed by classical authors, along with their modern forms; catalogue initially part of Theatrum, then published separately (Synonymia geographica, 1578; reworked as Thesaurus geographicus, 1587); published Aurei saeculi imago (1596), booklet on life and customs of the ancient Germans; obtained title "his majesty's geographer" from Philip II in 1573; died in Antwerp 28 June 1598; buried 1 July in church of St Michael in Antwerp)
Thrower, Norman J. W. Maps & civilization, 2008 page 81 (Abraham Ortelius (Oertel) of Antwerp; friend and rival of Mercator; with Theatrum orbis terrarum (1st edition May 1570), credited with producing the first modern uniformly bound collection of printed maps designed especially for this type of publication; employed the compilations of many cartographers (usually one per country with acknowledgment) but had the maps engraved on a uniform format)
