Description
English: An altogether stunning map of the Israel, Palestine, or the Holy Land. Issued in 1720 by David Funck of Nuremburg and geographically based upon Visscher’s Map of 1659 and De Wit’s Map of 1670. The shoreline runs from Sidon to Egypt along an East – West orientation. Divided according to the Tribes of Israel on both side of the River Jordan. Bottom center features a plan of the Temple of Solomon with the Ark of the Covenant featuring prominently. Moses and Jesus stand to either side of the plan. Title cartouche appears at the top of the map and features four cherubs, one of which holds the Tablets of Moses or the Ten Commandments. In the Dead Sea (Mare Mortuum) the destroyed cities of Sodom, Gamora, Sebim and Adama are depicted. At sea, 14 ships sail the Mediterranean. All text is in Latin.
