This Map, which first appeared in the Theatrum Orbis 

 Terrarum of Abraham Ortelius, Antwerp, 1570, 

 was inserted in the First Edition of The Principall 

 Navigations y 1589. It is referred to by Hakluyt 

 in the preface (p. xxx) as *one of the best generall 

 mappes of the world.' The map here reproduced 

 in facsimile is taken from the original in the First 

 Edition of The Principall Navigations. 



Map of the World, 35^ 



This is a facsimile of the Map sometimes, but rarely, found 

 in copies of the Second Edition of The Principall 

 Navigations ; it is now believed to be the Map alluded 

 to by Shakespeare in Twelfth Night, Act III, Scene 2. 

 in the passage ' He does smile his face into more 

 lines than is in the new map with the augmen- 

 tation of the Indies/ It is also held to be the first 

 map engraved in England upon the projection 

 called Mercator's, but which was really the work of 

 Edward Wright, mathematician and hydrographer, 

 and author of Certaine Errors in Navigation, 1599.
