The work features engravings of the "Tabula Peutingeriana", a representation of the Roman world divided into four sheets, using Ortelius' plates. In addition, this section includes an additional map, the ninth, created specifically for this atlas and not found elsewhere. The maps are hand-colored, with highlighted contours and decorative cartouches for the titles, showing geographical features, cities, and main countries. Relief is represented pictorially.
Petrus Bertius, born in Beveren, Flanders, on November 14, 1565, was a professor of mathematics and librarian at Leiden University. In 1618 he became cosmographer and historiographer for Louis XIII of France. Author of numerous geographical and theological works, this three-part atlas represents his most celebrated work, based mainly on Ptolemy's "Geographia".
