A map of the world in outline from Heinrich Bunting's "Itinerarium Sacrae Scriptura", a theological commentary. The work also included maps of the Holy Land illustrating scriptural history and three other remarkable curiosities; the cloverleaf world map, Asia as Pegasus (the winged horse) and Europe as queen. This map shows the world (Europe, Africa and Asia) in outline with countries named. Some towns are also named including Jerusalem, Damascus and Antioch in the Holy Land. A small portion of South America may be seen at lower left and at lower right ther is the outline of "India Meridionalis", which could be mistaken for Australia. Sea monsters decorate the oceans. Wormholes repaired.
