This map, which focuses on the regions of Fez (Fezzae) and Morocco, is a testament to Ortelius's meticulous craftsmanship and his dedication to the art and science of mapmaking during the Renaissance period.

The "Map of Fezzae and Morocco" is characterized by its intricate illustrations, including topographical features, settlements, and possibly even trade routes, reflecting the extensive research and compilation of contemporary knowledge by Ortelius.

Ortelius's work was revolutionary in that it synthesized information from various sources, including earlier maps, travel accounts, and reports from explorers. This synthesis allowed for a more comprehensive and accurate representation of distant lands, which was crucial for navigation, trade, and the expansion of European influence. The map not only served practical purposes but also held aesthetic value, with its ornate cartouches, decorative elements, and careful attention to detail, making it a prized possession for collectors and scholars alike.
