Description:
|
Also known as the 'Epitome theatri Orteliani'. The maps of Ortelius's Theatrum were redrawn by Ortelius's collaborator, Philip Galle, and issued with text in rhyme by the translator of the Dutch 'Theatrum', Pieter Heyns. Galle and Christoffel Plantin first published the 'Epitome' in 1577. Like the 'Theatrum' it was immensely popular and was translated in prose form into French (1579), Latin (1585), Italian (1593), English (1603), and German (1604). Various printing houses continued production of the 'Epitome' until 1724.
