Orbis Terrae Compendiosa Descriptio Ex peristissimorum totius orbis Gaeographorum operibus desumpta... is a striking world map that was included in the first edition of Jan Huygen van Linschoten's "Itinerario" published in 1596. This map, engraved by the skilled Dutch engravers Arnold and Hendrik Van Langren, is a significant piece in the history of cartography, as it represents a compilation of the latest geographical knowledge available at the time.
The map is notable for its depiction of the recent Dutch voyages to the East Indies, showcasing the expanding knowledge of the world during the Age of Exploration. It features a prominent cartouche with the title and a dedication to the Dutch East India Company. The map also includes detailed coastlines, illustrations of ships sailing the seas, and depictions of various sea creatures, both real and mythical. "Orbis Terrae Compendiosa Descriptio" is a testament to the growing understanding of the world and the advancements in mapmaking during the late 16th century.
