Erythraei Sive Rubri Maris Periplus, olim ab Arriano descriptus, nunc vero ab Abrah. Orelio, printed by Plantin Moretus, 1599
1/1
This map, drawn by Ortelius himself, is in his 'Parergon' edition and was made on the basis of the Periplus Maris Erythraei, of which the author is unknown. It directly connects explorers of Ortelius' time with ancient and famous travelers such as King Hanno of Carthage and Odysseus from Homer's Odyssey.
