Cornelis de Jode (1568-1600) was a Flemish cartographer and publisher who was active during the late 16th century. He was born in Antwerp, Belgium, into a family of mapmakers and engravers. His father, Gerard de Jode, was also a renowned cartographer. De Jode was known for his work in mapmaking and publishing, following in the footsteps of his father Gerard de Jode.

"Hemispheriu ab Aequinoctiali Linea, ad Circulu Poli Arctici" is the title of one of Cornelis de Jode's notable maps. The title can be translated to "Hemisphere from the Equatorial Line to the Arctic Circle." This map depicts a hemisphere of the Earth, spanning from the equator to the Arctic Circle.

During the 16th century, cartographers like Cornelis de Jode played a significant role in expanding geographical knowledge and producing detailed maps. Their works helped to shape the understanding of the Earth's geography and were instrumental in exploration and navigation during the Age of Discovery.

Cornelis de Jode is best known for his atlas, "Speculum Orbis Terrae" (Mirror of the World), which was published in 1593. The atlas contained numerous maps depicting different parts of the world, including continents, countries, and regions. It featured maps by various cartographers, including Gerard Mercator, Abraham Ortelius, and Ortelius's successor, Philip Galle.

"Speculum Orbis Terrae" was a competitor to the famous "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" by Ortelius. De Jode aimed to create a comprehensive and up-to-date atlas, incorporating the latest geographical knowledge of the time. His atlas was known for its decorative elements, including elaborate cartouches, sea monsters, and illustrations of indigenous people from different parts of the world.

Cornelis de Jode's contributions to cartography were significant, although his work didn't achieve the same level of commercial success as Ortelius's "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum." He passed away in 1600, and his atlas was later reissued by his widow, Arnold Coninx. Today, original editions of "Speculum Orbis Terrae" are considered valuable collectibles, providing insights into the geographical understanding of the late 16th century.
