Description

Full Title: 'TERRA SANCTA quae in Sacris Terra Promissionis ol. PALESTINA'. Printed in Duisberg 1587with Latin text on the verso.

A fine map showing the area of present day Israel and Palestine. There are numerous placenames, east is at the top of the map. Decorative elements include a sailing ship and a large sea monster. This map is quite similar in appearance to Abraham Ortelius' Terra Sancta.

The map is in excellent condition with wide margins and no discernible faults. The shadow at the centrefold was caused by photographing the map.
