Item Overview
Description:
Map of Jerusalem – Franz Hogenberg after Christian van Adrichem – Cologne, 1588 – From the First Latin Edition of Civitates Orbis Terrarum – The Rarest of the Three Jerusalem Maps
Ierusalem, et suburbia eius, sicut tempore Christi floruit. [Cologne, 1588].
Hand-colored engraving, from the first Latin edition of volume IV of the city atlas Civitates Orbis Terrarum by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg. Latin text on verso: "Iervsalem vrbs Aitsingeri descriptione, illustrata".
The rarest of the three Jerusalem maps issued in Braun and Hogenberg’s atlas. An imaginative view of Jerusalem and its environs, featuring 270 numbered vignettes depicting sites and events – from the reign of David and Solomon to the Crucifixion – based on the Bible, the New Testament, and other sources.
This map is based on Christian van Adrichem’s 1584 map of Jerusalem, but unlike Adrichem’s horizontally oriented, east-facing format, the present version is vertically oriented and faces north.
Engraved map: 76.5X52 cm (printed on two joined sheets, leaves 58-59). Overall good condition. Minor tears and marginal wear. Handwritten notations to margins.
Laor 1041A.
