Description:
Famous c.16th map covering the area of Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina region by Abraham Ortelius, published in, Ortelius’s, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, widely regarded as the first modern atlas for having all the maps in a similar size and format. Montenegro with the towns of Spalato and Zara are marked, as well as other coastal towns.
Ortelius was the first to separate ancient and recent geographic knowledge in his maps and to indicate the changes from the old nomenclature to the new.
From, Ortelius, A. Theatrum orbis terrarum

Abraham Ortelius (1527 - 1598)
Ortelius was a Flemish cartographer, map seller and publisher. Ortelius was a leading cartographer who published the first modern atlas in 1570, Theatrum orbis terrarum in which each map was presented on a separate sheet. He initially trained as an engraver in 1547 and as an illuminator of maps. Influenced by Gerard Mercator he published his first map in 1564 and soon after published his famous atlas that changed the way maps were sold and published.
