The map "Septentrionalium regionum descriptio" is a significant work by Abraham Ortelius. This Latin title translates to "Description of the Northern Regions." It is a map included in Ortelius's atlas, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," which was first published in 1570.

This map focused on the northern regions of Europe and depicted various countries and regions in the north, including Scandinavia, the British Isles, and parts of northern continental Europe. "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" was groundbreaking in its time and is considered one of the first true atlases, as it compiled maps from various sources into a single volume. 

The 1592 edition of "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" likely included updates and revisions to the maps, reflecting the geographical knowledge of the time. Ortelius's work was instrumental in advancing the field of cartography and remains a historically significant collection of maps.

Abraham Ortelius (1527-1598) was a Flemish cartographer and geographer who is often credited with producing the world's first modern atlas. He is considered one of the most significant figures in the history of cartography.

Abraham Ortelius is remembered as a pioneer in the field of cartography. His work laid the foundation for the production of subsequent atlases and significantly advanced the accuracy and organization of maps. His influence on the development of modern geography and cartography is immense.

Abraham Ortelius passed away in Antwerp in 1598, but his legacy lives on through his groundbreaking atlas and the lasting impact he had on the field of cartography.
