Adam Olearius was a German mathematician, geographer, and diplomat who lived from 1599 to 1671. He is best known for his travels and works related to Persia (modern-day Iran) and other regions in the Middle East.

"Nova Delineatio Persiae et Confiniorum Veteri longe accuratior edita Anno 1655" translates to "New Map of Persia and the Surrounding Areas, Far More Accurate Than Previous Ones, Published in the Year 1655." It refers to a map that Olearius created in 1655, which aimed to provide an improved and precise depiction of the geographical features of Persia and its neighboring regions.

Olearius traveled to Persia as part of an embassy sent by the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp to Shah Abbas II of Persia. He documented his observations, experiences, and the geographical information he gathered during his journey. His accounts were later published in various works, including "Voyages and Travels of the Ambassadors" (1647) and "The Voyages and Travels of the Ambassadors Sent by Frederick Duke of Holstein to the Great Duke of Muscovy and the King of Persia" (1662).

These works became significant sources of information about Persia and the Middle East for Europeans in the 17th century. Olearius' efforts in mapping and documenting the region contributed to a better understanding of the area during a time when exploration and knowledge exchange were of great interest to European scholars and travelers.
