Abraham Ortelius was a renowned Flemish cartographer and geographer who lived in the 16th century. He is best known for his work in creating one of the earliest modern atlases, known as "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" or "Theater of the World." This atlas, first published in 1570, is often considered the first true atlas in the modern sense because it contained a collection of maps of various regions, countries, and continents.

The map "Turcici Imperii Descriptio" is a part of Ortelius's "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum." It specifically focuses on the description of the Turkish Empire, which was a significant and powerful empire during that period, encompassing large parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Ortelius's work was groundbreaking because it represented a departure from earlier methods of cartography, which relied heavily on copying and reproducing existing maps. Instead, he collected and integrated the best available maps and information of his time, providing a more accurate and comprehensive view of the world. His atlas played a crucial role in the development of modern cartography and greatly influenced subsequent mapmakers and geographers.

Ortelius's "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" marked a significant advancement in the field of geography and cartography and is considered one of the most important works in the history of mapmaking. It contributed to a better understanding of the world's geography during the Renaissance era.
