In 1560, however, when travelling with Mercator to Trier, Lorraine, and Poitiers, he seems to have been attracted, largely by Mercator's influence, towards the career of a scientific geographer. He supplemented his income trading in books, prints, and maps, and his journeys included yearly visits to the Frankfurt book and print fair, where he met Gerardus Mercator in 1554. Beginning as a map-engraver, in 1547 he entered the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke as an illuminator of maps. He travelled extensively in Europe and is specifically known to have traveled throughout the Seventeen Provinces in southern, western, northern, and eastern Germany (e.g., 1560, 1575≡576) France (1559≡560) England and Ireland (1576) and Italy (1578, and perhaps twice or thrice between 15). In 1575 he was appointed geographer to the king of Spain, Philip II, on the recommendation of Arias Montanus, who vouched for his orthodoxy. Abraham remained close to his cousin Emanuel van Meteren, who would later moved to London. Following the death of Ortelius's father, his uncle Jacobus van Meteren returned from religious exile in England to take care of Ortelius. In 1535, the family had fallen under suspicion of Protestantism.
