Maps and history

Begins with a consideration of the 'pre-history' of the historical atlas: individual maps depictng the Holy Land at the time of Christ and maps of the Classical world. Then examines the first known historical atlas, the Parergon of Abraham Ortelius, which was published in Antwerp in 1570 and was followed by other works that mapped the world of the Bible and the classics.
