Orbis Terrae Compendiosa Descriptio: This map design was created by Rumold Mercator, and included in Gerardus Mercator's Atlas sive Cosmographicae (1595/1596). It was edited by Jodocus Hondius for further publications of the Mercator-Hondius-Atlas (1602 and following) as Orbis Terrae Novissima Descriptio.

Hendrik Hondius (the Younger) and his co-author Jan Janssonius used a completely overhauled world map design for the Mercator-Hondius-Jansonius-Atlas.
