"Novus Orbis potius Altera Continens sive Atlantis Insula" is a historical map created by Guillaume Delisle in 1699.

Guillaume Delisle (1675-1726) was a prominent French cartographer of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The map "Novus Orbis potius Altera Continens sive Atlantis Insula" is notable because it was one of the first maps to depict a separate and much smaller "Atlantis" island in the Atlantic Ocean. This depiction of Atlantis on maps was based on ancient Greek and Roman myths and had no basis in reality.

Delisle's map was part of the broader exploration and mapping of the world during the Age of Discovery. While the depiction of Atlantis on his map is historically significant, it's important to note that Atlantis itself is a legendary and mythical island, and its existence has never been substantiated.

Delisle was born in Paris, France, in 1675. He came from a family of cartographers and geographers, which likely influenced his interest in the field. He received a solid education in geography and cartography.

Delisle produced numerous important maps during his career. Some of his most notable works include maps of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. His maps of Africa and the Mississippi River were particularly influential.

Guillaume Delisle's contributions to cartography are still recognized and celebrated today. His maps are considered important historical documents, and his legacy continues to influence modern mapmakers and geographers.

Guillaume Delisle's dedication to accuracy and his efforts to apply scientific rigor to cartography marked a significant shift in the way maps were produced during his time, laying the foundation for modern cartography.
