In 1579, Ortelius brought out his ''Nomenclator Ptolemaicus'' and started his ''Parergon'' (a series of maps illustrating ancient history, [[Sacredness|sacred]] and secular). He also published ''Itinerarium per nonnullas Galliae Belgicae partes'' (at the Plantin press in 1584, and reprinted in 1630, 1661 in Hegenitius, Itin. Frisio-Hoil., in 1667 by Verbiest, and finally in 1757 in Leuven), a record of a journey in [[Belgium]] and the [[Rhineland]] made in 1575. In 1589 he published [[Maris Pacifici]], the first dedicated map of the [[Pacific]] to be printed.<ref>[http://mapmogul.com/catalog/product_info.php+products_id+52 Map Mogul – Antique Maps & Prints – Ortelius, Abraham SOLD Maris Pacifici<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Among his last works were an edition of Caesar (''C. I. Caesaris omnia quae extant'', Leiden, Raphelingen, 1593), and the ''Aurei saeculi imago, sive Germanorum veterum vita, mores, ritus et religio.'' (Philippe Galle, Antwerp, 1596). He also aided Welser in his edition of the [[Peutinger Table]] in 1598.<ref name="EB1911"/>

Contrary to popular belief, Abraham Ortelius, who had no children, never lived at the ''Mercator-Orteliushuis'' (Kloosterstraat 11–17, Antwerpen), but lived at his sister's house (Kloosterstraat 33–35, Antwerpen).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.sint-andries.com/Archief/straatnamen/huizen/Kloosterstraat-Het%20Mercator-Orteliushuis%20te%20Antwerpen.htm |title=Het Mercator-Orteliushuis te Antwerpen |access-date=2013-03-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304095724/http://www.sint-andries.com/Archief/straatnamen/huizen/Kloosterstraat-Het%20Mercator-Orteliushuis%20te%20Antwerpen.htm |archive-date=2016-03-04 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref>
