“Chorographia Terrae Sanctae.”



Copperplate map, two sheets conjoined.
14.7 x 23.5 inches (37.5 x 60 cm).
Antwerp(?), first edition 1632, (or later):
Based on the 1632 map by the Jesuit theologian, historian and Bible scholar Jacobus Tirinus (1580-1636) from his study on the Holy Land: Commentarius Vestus et Novum Testamentum Tomis Tribus Comprehensus. The map ranges from Syria and Tyre southward as far as the Sinai, Egypt and Thebes. Surrounding the map proper on the left, right, and lower margins, there are as many as 19 inset maps and vignettes. The largest and most central of these is a stunning city plan of Jerusalem - after Villalpando’s ‘Hierosolymae Veteris Imago’ - which notes the various important buildings located there.
