Jodocus Hondius was a Dutch cartographer, engraver, and publisher who lived from 1563 to 1612. He was born in Wakken, Flanders (in present-day Belgium) but later moved to Amsterdam, where he established himself as one of the leading mapmakers of his time.

Hondius is best known for his work as a mapmaker and publisher. He produced and published numerous maps and atlases that were highly regarded for their accuracy and craftsmanship. His maps covered a wide range of regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

One of Hondius' notable works is his map titled "Turcici imperio imago," which translates to "Image of the Turkish Empire" in Latin. This map was part of his famous atlas series called "Atlas sive Cosmographicae Meditationes de Fabrica Mundi et Fabricati Figura," first published in 1606.

The "Turcici imperio imago" map depicted the extent and territories of the Ottoman Empire, which was a significant power during the 16th and 17th centuries. It showed the empire's boundaries, major cities, and geographical features. The map was highly detailed and embellished with decorative elements, including elaborate cartouches, compass roses, and illustrations of Ottoman figures and military scenes.

Hondius' maps, including the "Turcici imperio imago," were influential in disseminating geographical knowledge and shaping the European understanding of the world during the Age of Exploration. His work helped popularize the use of globes and atlases as essential tools for navigation, trade, and exploration.
