Grek som benämns som ”historiebeskrivningens fader” (400-talet fKr). Lade grunden till T-Kartor, eller ”T i O-kartor” (Orbis Terrarum). Detta var en typ av religiösa kartor där Jerusalem ligger i världens mitt, de var mer symboliska än geografiska. Runt jorden fanns Oceanus och jordytan delades i tre delar av ett ”T”. Öster var ofta orienterat uppåt i kartan. Asien låg överst i kartan, under låg Europa till vänster och Afrika till höger. Delarna skiljdes av floderna Don (mellan Asien och Europa) och Nilen (mellan Asien och Afrika).

Jean le Pautre (June 28, 1618 – February 2, 1682) was a French designer and engraver. Le Pautre was an apprentice to a carpenter and builder. In addition to learning mechanical and constructive work, he developed considerable skill with the pencil.
