Delineatio Und Beschreibing Palaestinae Oder Des Gelobten Landes

An unusual and uncommon map of the Holy Land, with north orientated to the right of the page, showing the wandering of the Children of Israel after their escape from Egypt. An inset plan at top right shows an encampment layout, and the title cartouche at lower right is flanked by two figures - Aaron and Moses with his tablet numbered I to X. Beneath the map itself with the winding route of the Children clearly depicted, a 42 point numbered key (in German) identifies stations along the way. Decorative detail extends to include a compass rose in the Red Sea, sailing ships near the mouth of the Nile and Jonah and the Whale in the Mediterranean. Finely engraved this is an attractive and rare map we've never seen before.
