The largest edition of the landmark Ortelius atlas

A fine example of the world's first regularly-produced atlas, one of the later editions, containing important maps not in earlier editions, including the Pacific, China and Iceland, as well as the Vrients British Isles and Boazio map of Ireland. One of the last latin editions thus containing the largest number of maps, 166 in total, i.e 128 maps in the 'Theatrum' part, plus a further 38 maps and plates in the 'Parergon' section, which was Ortelius's atlas of the ancient world. Many of the maps in the Parergon were drawn by Ortelius himself.
