The map can be found at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d3/1589_Totius_Orbis_de_Jode.jpg (download the full resolution version). Instructions to create a map theme from it are at http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Marble/HistoricalMaps . This map is already provided in Equirectangular projecftion so it should be relatively easy to convert
This one is done already.
Status whiteboard should read "Ready for GHNS upload" then, I'd say.
