Resumen:
Typus Orbis Terrarum is a double-page oval planisphere designed to introduce the geographical description of the world in the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum ? a book of maps first published in 1570 by humanist Abraham Ortelius in Antwerp and traditionally considered the first modern atlas. This influential book ?published in more than thirty editions in different languages in the following forty years? established a stable template for the depiction and description of the world according to continents.
