annotates: Shows portion of Central America, northwestern South America, southern United States, and coast of Tamaulipas in Mexico; Maps in Latin. Text on verso in Spanish. Map is very similar to Cruz’s 1572 map, but only lists the towns of “Achusi” and “Tascalifa” in the vicinity of “Rio de Flores.” Ortelius, a Flemish engraver, first published Theatrum orbis terrarium (Theater of the World), in 1570. It is hailed as the world’s first atlas and reflects an age of exploration, broadened commercial connections, and scientific inquiry. Subsequent maps, likely including this 1584 map, were updated versions of his original 1570 work. He possibly was the first to place the Indigenous villages on the map, and later cartographers followed suit.
