Description

Ortelius’ Map of Central Africa, Chronicling the Christian Kingdom of Prester
John

Fine example of Ortelius' famous map of the Kingdom of Prester John, from
his Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern atlas of the world.

The map shows much of the African continent, along with the Arabian Peninsula
and parts of southwest Asia. The emphasis is on the length of the Nile River,
which is the part of the map with the most detail. In other parts of Africa,
with less detail, elephants roam the plains. Rough seas surround the continent,
with several sea monsters. In the lower left corner is a large sailing vessel,
an Egyptian dhow, firing a canon.

Several large blocks of text are sprinkled across the map. The most decorative
is in the lower right corner, where a strapwork cartouche complete with busts
and floral details surround the title. The title translates to, “A
representation of [the country of] Prester John, or the Empire of the
Abyssinians.”

In the upper left corner, a strapwork cartouche is topped by a coat of arms. As
the text below it explains, these symbols belong to Prester John. The text
reads:

Honorary title of Prester John/King David is the highest of my Kings. [I,
Presbyterius Ioannes], specially chosen by God, pillar of faith, born from the
tribe of Judah, son of David, son of Salomo, son of the pillar of Zion, son from
the seed of Jacob, son of the hand of Maria, son of Nahum's flesh, son of the
holy Peter and Paul in mercy, emperor of upper and great Æthiopia, and of the
legal grounds and countries of the most elevated kingdoms; king of Goa,
Caffates, Fatigar, Angota, Baru, Balinguanza, Adea, Vangua, Goiama where the
Nile has its sources, of Amara, Banguamedrum, Ambea, Vangucum, Tigremahon, of
Saba, homeland of the Queen of Saba, of Barnagassum and Lord of all of Namibia,
extending all the way to Egypt.

Other notes around the map refer to natural resources, customs, river flows, and
religion. For example, a large note on Nubia reads:

Nubia was once a Christian kingdom, but now they do not apply themselves to
religion at all. The region is very rich in gold and ivory, and yields sugar and
fruits in great abundance. Its main city is Dangala, whose inhabitants are very
wealthy and they trade with Egyptian merchants. Here they make many shoes and
bags. Their houses are covered with chalk and straw.

Other notes refer to mythical inhabitants. Lake Zaire is supposedly full of “sea
gods and sirens.” In Cafates, near Lake Zaire, “they say the Amazones live.”

Prester John

The most important myth referred to in this map is listed in the title, that of
Prester John. The legend of a Christian Kingdom lost among Muslim lands was
popular from the twelfth century and continued long into the seventeenth.
Prester John was supposedly descended from one of the three magi. Over time, the
utopian kingdom of Prester John came to house a bevy of other fantastical
objects, including the Fountain of Youth.

The idea for Prester John seems to have stemmed from a mysterious letter sent to
the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I. The letter, supposedly written by John,
describes his power, faith, and lands. The letter circulated ca. 1165 and
survives in nearly 100 medieval manuscript copies. Initially, Europeans thought
Prester John’s kingdom was in India, and later in Central Asia. Finally, in the
early modern period, the search shifted to Africa, when Portuguese navigators
came upon Christian Ethiopia.  

Ortelius’ map shows the ubiquity and strength of the Prester John story in
sixteenth-century Europe. The story was a one of the durability of the Christian
faith during a time when Christian Europe was often in conflict with Muslims in
Barbary and throughout the Ottoman Empire.  

Mountains of the Moon and the source of the Nile

Interestingly, the source of the Nile—a huge subject of debate amongst
sixteenth-century mapmakers—is different on this map then on Ortelius’ general
map of Africa, which was also included in the atlas. Typically, mapmakers
thought the Nile River rose from twin lakes south of the equator, which were
near the Mountains of the Moon. Streams from the mountains fed the lakes.
Ptolemy describes such a lakes-and -mountains layout in his works, although the
precise identification of the Mountains of the Moon may have been a fourth
century addition to his text.

Sixteenth century mapmakers, including Waldseemuller, chose to follow the
Ptolemaic model. This was typical of cartographers at the time, who had
abandoned Ptolemy’s coastlines in favor of the more recent Portuguese outlines
yet who also clung to Ptolemaic place names for the interior of Africa well into
the nineteenth century.

Giacomo Gastaldi, most likely thanks to sources he read via the travel writer
Ramusio, chose to abandon the Mountains of the Moon entirely in his 1564 map of
Africa. Instead, he drew a massive central lake from which flows the Nile, Zaire
(Congo), Cuama (Zambezi), and Spirito Sancto (Limpopo) Rivers. To the east is
another, smaller lake at roughly the same latitude, which also feeds part of the
Nile. Therefore, Gastaldi created an entirely different view of the interior of
Central Africa, while still embracing Ptolemy’s twin lakes theory.

In Ortelius’ Africa map (here), included in the original 1570 Theatrum, he also
included a large central lake, called Cafates. He rejected the name of
Zaire-Zembere used by Gastaldi. To the east and just slightly north was another,
smaller lake. Rivers from the north of both lakes wend northward and join to
form the Nile. The Zaire (Congo) flows from the northeast of Lake Cafates, while
the Zuama (Zambezi) exits at the south of the lake. It branches into the Spiritu
Sant, or the Limpopo. Thus, one lake gives rise to four of the largest rivers in
Africa.

In this map, however, Ortelius has brought back the Mountains of the Moon. The
Nile still branches from two lakes, but the larger of these is now called Zaire,
as it had been with Gastaldi. Clearly Ortelius continued to review sources
between drafting the Africa map and this one.

Theatrum Orbis Terrarum and the states of the “Presbiteri Iohannis sive
Abissinorum Imperii Descriptio”

In 1570, Ortelius published the first modern atlas, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, or
“Theater of the World;” that is, he produced a set of uniform maps with
supporting text gathered in book form. Previously, there were other bound map
collections, specifically, the Italian Lafreri atlases, but these were sets of
maps—not necessarily uniform—selected and bound together on demand.

Ortelius’ atlas outperformed competing atlases from other cartographic
luminaries like the Mercator family. Between 1570 and 1612, 31 editions of the
atlas were published in seven languages. At the time of its publication, it was
the most expensive book ever produced.

Abraham Ortelius Biography

Abraham Ortelius is perhaps the best known and most frequently collected of all
sixteenth-century mapmakers. Ortelius started his career as a map colorist. In
1547 he entered the Antwerp guild of St Luke as afsetter van Karten. His early
career was as a business man, and most of his journeys before 1560, were for
commercial purposes. In 1560, while traveling with Gerard Mercator to Trier,
Lorraine, and Poitiers, he seems to have been attracted, largely by Mercator’s
influence, towards a career as a scientific geographer. From that point forward,
he devoted himself to the compilation of his Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Theatre of
the World), which would become the first modern atlas.

In 1564 he completed his “mappemonde", an eight-sheet map of the world. The only
extant copy of this great map is in the library of the University of Basel.
Ortelius also published a map of Egypt in 1565, a plan of Brittenburg Castle on
the coast of the Netherlands, and a map of Asia, prior to 1570.

On May 20, 1570, Ortelius’ Theatrum Orbis Terrarum first appeared in an edition
of 70 maps. By the time of his death in 1598, a total of 25 editions were
published including editions in Latin, Italian, German, French, and Dutch. Later
editions would also be issued in Spanish and English by Ortelius’ successors,
Vrients and Plantin, the former adding a number of maps to the atlas, the final
edition of which was issued in 1612. Most of the maps in Ortelius' Theatrum were
drawn from the works of a number of other mapmakers from around the world; a
list of 87 authors is given by Ortelius himself

In 1573, Ortelius published seventeen supplementary maps under the title of
Additamentum Theatri Orbis Terrarum. In 1575 he was appointed geographer to the
king of Spain, Philip II, on the recommendation of Arias Montanus, who vouched
for his orthodoxy (his family, as early as 1535, had fallen under suspicion of
Protestantism). In 1578 he laid the basis of a critical treatment of ancient
geography with his Synonymia geographica (issued by the Plantin press at Antwerp
and republished as Thesaurus geographicus in 1596). In 1584 he issued his
Nomenclator Ptolemaicus, a Parergon (a series of maps illustrating ancient
history, sacred and secular). Late in life, he also aided Welser in his edition
of the Peutinger Table (1598).
