"Typus orbis terrarum" is a Latin phrase that translates to "map of the world" in English. It refers to a famous map created by Abraham Ortelius in 1570, titled "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" or "The Theatre of the World." The map is often considered the first modern atlas and was a groundbreaking work in the field of cartography.

Abraham Ortelius was a Flemish cartographer and geographer who lived from 1527 to 1598. He is known for his significant contributions to the development of cartography during the Renaissance period. Ortelius's "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" consisted of 53 maps compiled from various sources and was the first atlas to present maps in a uniform format.

The maps in the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" were meticulously designed and engraved, and they provided a comprehensive overview of the known world at that time. Ortelius included detailed geographical information, including continents, countries, regions, and cities. The map also featured decorative elements such as elaborate cartouches, sea monsters, and illustrations of notable landmarks.

Ortelius's "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" was a significant advancement in cartography as it provided a standardized representation of the world and laid the foundation for future mapmaking. The atlas went through several editions and revisions during Ortelius's lifetime and became highly influential in shaping the geographical knowledge of the era.

Today, Ortelius's "Typus orbis terrarum" and his "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" are considered important historical artifacts, providing valuable insights into the geographical understanding of the 16th century and the advancements in mapping during the Renaissance period.
