250 copies printed originally. Very few loose copies remaining of this particular issue. Good-quality copes of this map typically sell for $400+ at auction. More background: Map of the Transilvania region of Romania. Title: TRANSILVANIA (Cartouche bottom left:) HANC VLTRA VEL TRAN:|SILVANIAM, QVÆ ET PÂNO|DACIA, ET DACIA RIPÊSIS, VVL:|GO SIBEMBVRGÊ DICITVR, | "edidit Viennæ Ao. 1566.

(From leading Ortelius scholar Marcel van den Broecke.)

Abraham Ortelius (1527 - 1598) was a Flemish cartographer & geographer, celebrated as the creator of the first modern atlas, the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum (Theatre of the World). Ortelius' work, the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, was the first uniformly sized, systematic collection of maps; this work can therefore be called the first atlas (although the term was not used until 20 years later by Mercator).
