Footnotes
"One of the most important maps that appeared in the Ortelius atlas, this was the first printed map to be devoted to the Pacific ocean, the discovery of which is remembered by the depiction, with legend, of Ferdinand Magellan's ship the Victoria... one of Ortelius' most desirable maps" (Burden, Mapping of America, 74).
