"Abraham Ortelius, Tartariae Sive Magni Chami Regni Typus" is a map created by Abraham Ortelius, a Flemish cartographer and geographer, in the late 16th century. The map depicts the region of Tartary or Tartaria, which was a historical region in Central Asia.

Ortelius was known for his famous work, "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" or "The Theatre of the World," which is considered the first modern atlas. The map "Tartariae Sive Magni Chami Regni Typus" was included in this atlas and focused on the region of Tartary.

Tartary was a term used in the past to describe a vast and undefined area in Central Asia, encompassing regions such as Mongolia, Siberia, and parts of China. Ortelius's map portrayed Tartary as a large and influential kingdom ruled by a mythical figure named "Magnus Cam," or "Great Khan," which referred to the historical Mongol rulers.

The map included various geographical features, cities, and regions within Tartary, although its accuracy was limited due to the limited knowledge and exploration of the region at the time. It also depicted the Great Wall of China, rivers, and mountain ranges. The map had ornate decorative elements, such as illustrations of animals, ships, and sea monsters, which were common in cartography during that period.

Ortelius's map of Tartary played a significant role in shaping European perceptions and understanding of Central Asia during the Age of Exploration. While some of the information on the map may not be entirely accurate by today's standards, it remains an important historical document and a testament to the state of geographical knowledge in the 16th century.
