Summary

Description
Deutsch: Karte des pazifischen Oceans aus dem Jahr 1589
English: 1589 map of the Pacific Ocean
Latina: Mare Pacificum quod vulgo nominint Mare del Zur
"Ortelius's Maris Pacifici map was first issued in 1590. The map is based upon Mercator's world map of 1569, with details from 25 Portugese manuscript maps of Bartolomeo de Lasso which Plancius obtained and later used for his own world map...This map and the Hondius/Le Clerc's rare map of 1589 (known only in the 1602 edition) have a curious and not fully understood relationship as to which is truly the first map of the Pacific, although because no example of the 1589 Hondius Le Clerk has been discovered, this map retains primacy." -Barry Lawrence Ruderman Antique Maps Inc.
