Mönnum kom því snemma til hugar að gera bókina aðgengilegri almenningi með því að gera útdrætti úr textanum og minnka kortin. Þessa nýja gerð safnsins átti eftir að koma út á ýmsum tungumálum áður en yfir lauk. Hér sjáum við Norðurlandakort Orteliusar smækkað úr einni slíkri útgáfu. Ýmsu hefur orðið að fórna við þessa breytingu á stærð kortsins, eins og t. d. flestöllum örnefnum.</dc:description><dc:description>The atlas, Theatrum orbis terrarum, by Ortelius was a large book and rather expensive. So it was not very long before someone got an idea to make it more accessible to the public by reducing the maps. This new version of the collection was published in many languages. Here we see a scaled down version of Ortelius' map of the north from some edition of the book. Because of the change in size nearly all the place-names have been removed.</dc:description><creator-person authority-file-urn="urn:digmap.eu:NliAuthorities:2b6f7a36-e7f0-4740-a418-2744a6a60e53" virtual-authority-file-urn="urn:digmap.eu:UnionAuthorityFile:f4b48531-764b-41da-a608-575a9b42c7ad"><dc:creator>Philip Galle</dc:creator><first-name>Philip</first-name><surname>Galle</surname></creator-person><dc:title>Septentrionalium regionum descriptio</dc:title><dc:date>1577</dc:date><dc:publisher>Antwerp, Netherlands</dc:publisher><dc:identifier xsi:type="dcterms:URI">http://kort.bok.hi.is/kort/jpg/si0134x1024.jpg</dc:identifier></record>
