"Typus Orbis Terrarum," was indeed created by Abraham Ortelius in 1584. Ortelius was a Flemish cartographer and geographer who is considered one of the pioneers of modern cartography.

"Typus Orbis Terrarum" is commonly known as the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," which translates to "Theater of the World." It was the first modern atlas, a collection of maps compiled into a bound volume. The atlas consisted of 53 maps that portrayed various regions of the world known at that time.

Ortelius's maps were based on the best available sources and were meticulously drawn and engraved. He included information from explorers, navigators, and other cartographers of his era to create a comprehensive and accurate depiction of the world. The maps were accompanied by descriptive texts and historical notes, making it a valuable resource for scholars and navigators.

The significance of "Typus Orbis Terrarum" lies in its contribution to the development of cartography as a science. Prior to Ortelius's work, maps were often fragmented and disconnected, lacking a systematic approach. Ortelius's atlas brought together different maps into a coherent and organized collection, setting a standard for future cartographers.

The success of "Typus Orbis Terrarum" led to numerous editions and translations, making it one of the most influential and widely circulated atlases of its time. Ortelius's work laid the foundation for the golden age of Dutch cartography and inspired generations of mapmakers.
