Terrae Israel omnis ante Canaan. Map of Palestine, copperplate engraving. [16th century].
Map of Palestine, showing the territories of the tribes and the stations of the journey of the Israelites in the desert. Some of the names of sites appearing on the map were printed in Hebrew.
The map is taken, apparently, from volume no. 8 of "Biblia Polyglotta" by Christopher Plantin (Antwerp, 1572). A similar map was printed in "Antiquitatum Iudaicarum Libri IX" by Benito Arias Montano (Leiden, 1593).
See Laor 46 and 46A.
Engraving: approx. 50X34 cm. Good condition. Creases. Stains (dark stains at margins). Three pieces of paper are pasted on the upper margins of the leaf, on the back.
Provenance: Collection of Hermann Meyer and his daughter Channah Sapir.
