A sample of Early maps of Africa in the UF Libraries
Physical access to the original maps listed here is through the Map
& Imagery library, located on the ground floor of the Marston
Science Library. See their web site for contact information, location, hours
of operation, circulation policies, and the like.
Where available, links to images at the Map
& Imagery library site are by call number or temporary ID number on
the last line of each record below. These same images can be accessed from the Map
& Imagery library site from the main page by selecting Special
collections, special
regions, antique
Africa. This leads you to the first of five pages of images, arranged
chronologically (or link to them here: 1,
2, 3,
4, 5).
A set of modern maps
of Africa is also available. Note that few of these images portray an entire
sheet or map, but instead provide partial representations of the original to
assist staff and researchers in determining their specific identify and utility
for a given purpose. We hope to make available a more complete set of images at
a later date, but there is no substitute for working with the originals! Please visit the map library for further assistance.

Description: 1 map : col. ; 35 x 51 cm.
Notes: The ancient Egypt map was drawn as a historical map and provides a number of sites of interest from the Exodus. The entire Nile valley with its' extensive delta region is portrayed. Oriented with the west at the top and the Nile River bisecting the map from right to left, one is given the impression that they are viewing the area from the Holy Land. The map was one of ten new maps added to the Parergon in the 1595 edition of the Theatrum terrarum orbis. At the top slightly right of center is note which provides the name Ortelius and the date, which implies this is one of the maps drawn by Ortelius himself. Inset: Alexandrinorum nomus. The Latin text on right verso is "AEgypvs" while the left verso is for another map. The 1595 version is a reduced copy of the two sheet historical map added in 1584 to the Parergon. Karrow 1/207.
