There was also an Irish academic who, a 'few' years back (Catherine DS might recall - certainly Joost will) tackled a wider aspect than just Ortelius's maps and coins; he, after all, is just over the water to you . . . It is, I suggest, Ortelius's correspondence and the Album Amicorum that will be central or a 'key' to your expressed wish.
PS: have you access to Dutchman Dr Marcel van den Broecke's hard cover Abraham Ortelius 1527 - 1598 : life, work, sources and friends (Bilthoven NL : Cartographica Neerlandica, 2015), ISBN 978-90-9029486-5 (with DVD inside the back cover). There is a scary review of this work in the same issue of IMCoS Jl wherein your own illustrated article ('Darluniad y ddaear : Pre-twentieth-century Welsh language maps of the world') appeared - Summer 2017, 149, [32]-37.

Dear Huw,
Marcel van den Broecke is a specialist on Ortelius, and he did a PhD about the
Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. See:

Hello,
Does anybody know of someone who would be able to give a talk about the work of Ortelius, if possible with reference to his links to other scholars around Europe.
Thanks,
Huw
