Copper-engraved map, hand-colored in outline; two fully colored pictorial cartouches. 49x57 cm (19¼x22½").



As noted in the subtitle, Homann based this map of the Holy Land on the cartography of Guillaume Sanson, presenting the region divided among the twelve tribes of Israel, and covering from Sidon to Sirbonis Lake in the Egyptian desert. Kishon River is shown as connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Sea of Galilea. The dramatic title cartouche features Moses receiving the Ten Commandments and inset in the opposite corner is a map showing the Exodus and Wandering surrounded by a finely engraved scene including Moses, Aaron, and the two spies of Moses bearing a huge bunch of grapes.
