Overall: Very nice Article about a map of Ortelius. I love ancient maps and have also a small collection, so I really enjoyed reading it! The article is new enough, long enough and sourced. qpq has been provided, and Earwig gives low plagiarism. It is very well referenced, AGF on the not accessible sources. The hooks are all interesting and cited in the article. I personally prefer the first one. Good to go! Alex2006 (talk) 04:51, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
