Description
One of the earliest obtainable modern maps of the Holy Land. The map extends from Sidon and the land of the Phoenians in the north to Gaza in the south with numerous Biblical sites and a number of vignettes.
The inset is a key of ancient and modern place names. This map is orientated with west at the top and is based on earlier maps by Münster and Ziegler.
An interesting feature is the burning of Sodom and Ghomorra in the [salty] Dead Sea. The map depicts the 12 Tribes, and the last 10 stations of the Jews flight from Egypt.
Date of the first edition: 1540, Publication date of this map: 1550's
