6625 Abraham Ortelius (1527–1598) – Map of Illyricum (Croatia, Slovenia, Istria, Trieste, Zara) – Engraved Map (1573)
This detailed engraved map, titled with reference to "ILLYRICVM" and the names of various historical regions such as Carniola, Styria, Hungary, Slavonia, Bosnia, Croatia, Dalmatia, Istria, Trieste, and Zara, was created by Abraham Ortelius, based on the contributions of Joannes Sambucus. Published in 1573, it appeared in the 1573 Additamentum I to Ortelius's groundbreaking "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (Theatre of the World). The map provides an intricate representation of the Balkan and Central European regions, detailing rivers, mountains, and numerous towns and settlements. Its precise engraving reflects the advanced cartographic knowledge and artistic detail of the 16th century.
Abraham Ortelius (1527–1598) was a Flemish cartographer and geographer, celebrated for compiling and publishing the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" in 1570, widely regarded as the first true modern atlas. His meticulous compilation revolutionized cartography and made geographical knowledge accessible to a broad European audience. Joannes Sambucus (1531–1584) was a Hungarian polymath, physician, and cartographer who provided geographical data and contributed to Ortelius's monumental atlas.
