context_page_description: Speculum Orbis Terrae was an atlas published by Cornelis de Jode in Antwerp in 1593. The atlas was largely a continuation of unfinished works of his father, Gerard de Jode, who died in 1591. Contemporary scholars consider many of de Jode's maps to be superior, both in detail and style, to those of the competing atlas of the time, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, by Ortelius. However, de Jode's atlas never sold well.
  After de Jode's death in 1600, the engraving plates were sold to J. B. Vrients, and the complete work was not published again.
