Map of the world by Orontius Finaeus, 1566. Oronce Finé (in Latin, Orontius Finnaeus or Finaeus) (1494-1555), French mathematician and cartographer. Born in Briançon, the son and grandson of physicians, he was educated in Paris (Collège de Navarre), and obtained a degree in medicine in 1522. He invented a heart-shaped map projection, frequently utilized by other cartographers, such as Peter Apian and Gerardus Mercator.

Antarctica: The Last Continent by Ian Cameron, page 24.
