Early Biblical Atlas
Dutch cartographers from the sixteenth through the seventeenth centuries often prepared maps with biblical themes for publication in their ornate world atlases or as separate illustrations for their Bibles. In this publication, six biblical maps were bound as a collection, representing one of the first separately published biblical atlases. This particular map, which focuses on the era of the Patriarchs, includes Nineveh, Haran, and Ur, and the area through which Abraham and Jacob traveled to reach Canaan, their promised land.
