Ancient New Map of the Whole World, Both Geographical and Hydrographical, 1663
"Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula" is a Latin phrase that translates to "New Map of the Whole World, Both Geographical and Hydrographical." The phrase is often associated with the cartographer Jodocus Hondius, who was also known as Judocus Hondius or Joost de Hondt.
Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612) was a Dutch cartographer and engraver who was active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He was renowned for his skills in mapmaking and played a significant role in the development of Dutch cartography during the Golden Age of Dutch exploration and trade.
The map "Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula" was one of Hondius' most famous works. It was first published in 1606 and went through several editions over the years, with updates and additions reflecting the latest geographical knowledge of the time. The map aimed to provide a comprehensive and accurate depiction of the world, incorporating both land and sea features.
Hondius' map was highly regarded for its detail, aesthetic appeal, and cartographic accuracy. It included various elements such as coastlines, countries, cities, rivers, mountains, and decorative illustrations. The map's hydrographical aspect emphasized the importance of maritime exploration and navigation, depicting ocean currents, trade routes, and sailing ships.
The work of Jodocus Hondius, including the "Nova Totius Terrarum Orbis Geographica ac Hydrographica Tabula," significantly contributed to the advancement of cartography during his time. His maps were widely circulated, utilized by explorers, merchants, and scholars, and influenced the European understanding of the world.
