Petrus Plancius was a Flemish cartographer, astronomer, and clergyman who lived during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He was born on July 14, 1552, in Dranouter, Flanders (now part of Belgium), and died on May 15, 1622, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Plancius was a significant figure in the field of cartography and is best known for his contributions to the creation of world maps during the Age of Exploration.

One of his notable works is the 1594 double hemisphere world map, which is a landmark representation of the known world at that time. The map is divided into two hemispheres, showing the eastern and western hemispheres separately. Plancius incorporated the latest geographical knowledge and discoveries into his map, but it also includes various inaccuracies and mythical elements that were prevalent during the era of exploration.

Plancius collaborated with several renowned Dutch cartographers of his time, including Abraham Ortelius and Gerardus Mercator. He was also an influential figure in the Dutch East India Company (VOC), providing navigational expertise and aiding in the planning of numerous exploratory voyages.
