Amsterdam, 1695:
A milestone achievement in Jewish mapmaking. Based on Adrichom, this was the first Hebrew map of the Holy Land. In the late 17th century, Amsterdam was the world capital of both Hebrew printing and cartography. Hence it was only a matter of time until these two fields converged, the present map being the result.
