| Research Abstract |
The Study made clear the historical situation of being formed the communication between leaned-men and other people in 16th Century Europe, through publishing the Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, called the first modern Atlas. We found the following facts : The Atlas is reconstructing the World by gathering existing maps (not original maps), still, laying the basis for the academic communication by giving the authorities in the Catalogue. And therefore the Atlas was accepted in 16-17th Century Europe and consequently influenced the understanding about the globe even in Asia.
