The first modern atlas, titled Theatrum orbis terrarum ("Theatre of the World"), was created by the Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius in 1570.12
While Gerardus Mercator is credited with introducing the term "atlas" to describe a collection of maps, it was Ortelius who compiled and published the first work generally recognized as the first modern atlas. His Theatrum was highly influential, featuring 70 maps engraved in a uniform style, and it remained the most popular atlas of its time through numerous updated editions.231
