Abraham Ortelius did create a map titled "Terra Sancta" (Latin for "Holy Land"). The map depicted the historical region of the Holy Land, which includes modern-day Israel, Palestine, and parts of Jordan and Lebanon.

Ortelius' "Terra Sancta" map was part of his famous atlas, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (Theater of the World), first published in 1570. "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" is considered the first modern atlas and was a groundbreaking work in the field of cartography. It contained maps of various regions, including the Holy Land.

Ortelius' map of the Holy Land, like his other maps, was highly regarded for its accuracy and attention to detail. It showed cities, towns, rivers, mountains, and biblical sites, making it a valuable resource for scholars, explorers, and those interested in religious history.

The "Terra Sancta" map by Ortelius was based on the best available knowledge and sources of the time, including earlier maps and travel accounts. It contributed to the dissemination of geographical knowledge and played a significant role in shaping European understanding of the Holy Land during the 16th century.

Ortelius' maps are known for their decorative elements, such as elaborate cartouches, illustrations, and ornate borders. These features added to the artistic appeal of the maps and contributed to their popularity.

The "Terra Sancta" map by Abraham Ortelius remains a valuable historical artifact, providing insights into the perception and representation of the Holy Land during the Renaissance period.
