"Universi Orbis Seu Terreni Globi In Plano Effigies Cum privilegio" is the Latin title of a map created by Gerard de Jode in 1571. Gerard de Jode was a Flemish cartographer and publisher who lived from 1509 to 1591. His map is a depiction of the entire known world at that time, represented on a flat surface.

The map showcases various continents, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, although the knowledge of the Americas was still limited during that period. It features intricate details of geographical features, cities, and regions, reflecting the cartographic knowledge of the time.

The Latin phrase "Cum privilegio" indicates that the map was published with a privilege or license, which granted exclusive rights to the publisher for a certain period. This was a common practice during the Renaissance to protect the commercial interests of mapmakers and publishers.

The "Universi Orbis Seu Terreni Globi In Plano Effigies" map is known for its ornate and decorative style, with elaborate illustrations and cartouches. It was published as part of Gerard de Jode's atlas called "Speculum Orbis Terrae" (Mirror of the World), which aimed to rival the work of his contemporary, Abraham Ortelius.

While the map may not accurately represent the world as we know it today due to the limited geographical knowledge of the time, it provides valuable insights into the prevailing understanding of the world during the late 16th century. It is considered an important cartographic work and a testament to the advancements in mapmaking during the Renaissance.
