EDITORS COMMENTS
Civitatis Orbis Terrarum," or "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum," is a seminal work in the history of cartography, created by the renowned cartographer George Braun and his team of engravers, including Abraham Ortelius and Franz Hogenberg, between 1572 and 1617 in Ecija, Spain. This etching, housed in the Salamanca University Library, is a testament to the groundbreaking advancements in cartographic representation during the late 16th century. The map depicts an agricultural world, with intricate details of primary sector activities, such as farming and transportation, evident throughout. The image is dominated by a vast expanse of land, divided into distinct territories, each identified by its name and sometimes, its ruling monarch. The map's title, "Civitatis Orbis Terrarum," translates to "The Cities of the World," reflecting the focus on urban centers and their connections through trade and communication networks. The map's horizontal orientation and use of color in daylight, as seen in this print, are notable departures from earlier cartographic traditions. The sunlight illuminates the intricate etchings, revealing the detailed representations of cities, rivers, mountains, and coastlines. The presence of carts, carriages, and other modes of transportation adds a sense of dynamism and movement to the otherwise static representation of the world. The map's creation in Salamanca, in the heart of Castile and Leon, Spain, underscores the region's role as a center of learning and intellectual inquiry during this period. The map's intricate details and innovative techniques paved the way for future advancements in cartography and contributed significantly to the growing understanding of the world during the Age of Exploration.
