Abraham Ortelius was a renowned Flemish cartographer and geographer known for his contributions to the field of cartography during the 16th century. He is most famous for creating the world's first modern atlas, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," published in 1570. This atlas included maps of various regions around the world.

"Agri Cremonensis Typus" translates to "A Map of the Cremona Region" in Latin. Cremona is a historic city located in the Lombardy region of Italy. The map likely provides a detailed representation of the Cremona region and its surroundings.

The reference to the year 1581 indicates the date when this map or cartographic work was created or published. This was a period of significant interest in cartography and geographical exploration.

Such maps from the late 16th century often depicted political boundaries, geographical features, cities, towns, and other notable landmarks within the specified region. They were essential references for understanding and navigating various parts of the world during that era.

Ortelius played a crucial role in advancing the field of cartography during the Renaissance. His atlas was a significant departure from earlier cartographic practices, which often consisted of individual maps compiled in separate works.

Ortelius collected existing maps from various sources, including maps by other cartographers, and compiled them into his atlas. He is known for his dedication to accuracy and verification of geographical information.
