Antique Map of the Holy Land, showing the travels of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
About the Item
Antique map titled 'Tabula Itineraria Patriarcharum Abrahami, Isaaci et Iacobi'. Decorative regional map of the Holy Land, showing the travels of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Published by J. Janssonius, circa 1652.
Jan Janssonius (also known as Johann or Jan Jansson or Janszoon) (1588-1664) was a renowned geographer and publisher of the seventeenth century, when the Dutch dominated map publishing in Europe. Born in Arnhem, Jan was first exposed to the trade via his father, who was also a bookseller and publisher. In 1612, Jan married the daughter of Jodocus Hondius, who was also a prominent mapmaker and seller. Jonssonius’ first maps date from 1616.
In the 1630s, Janssonius worked with his brother-in-law, Henricus Hondius. Their most successful venture was to reissue the Mercator-Hondius atlas. Jodocus Hondius had acquired the plates to the Mercator atlas, first published in 1595, and added 36 additional maps. After Hondius died in 1612, Henricus took over publication; Janssonius joined the venture in 1633. Eventually, the atlas was renamed the Atlas Novus and then the Atlas Major, by which time it had expanded to eleven volumes. Janssonius is also well known for his volume of English county maps, published in 1646.

- Antique Religious Church Sculpture / Carving of Abraham Offering Isaac w. AngelLocated in Lisse, NLVery rare 'biblical carving' depicting Abraham, Isaac and the angel. Because of the rarity, the importance and the deeper meaning of this incredibly well carved wooden church sculpture, we were immediately sold when we first saw it. This offering of Isaac by Abraham sculpture is the only one of its kind that we have ever seen and with the great many details this clearly is the work of a master carver. This incredibly detailed sculpture had to first be drawn on paper and then it must have taken the sculptor weeks rather than days to fully hand-carve it. It is highly likely that the polychrome painting of this church relic was done by yet another specialized artisan and the 'finished product' is among the best we have ever seen. With this being one of the most important and best known biblical stories in Western / Christian civilization, we are certain that this rare collectible will again be gracing a house of prayer or a private collection soon. Even with the lower fragment of the angel's body and some other details missing (such as the blade of the sword Abraham is holding) this one of a kind antique is great value for money. There are so many (symbolic) details and this composition is so well balanced that this piece will never fail to impress. Have you also noticed the 'lamb of god' tucked away in the lower left corner, behind the logs of wood? The artist clearly used every inch of this wood carving to create the richest sculpture anyone could ask for. As you can see in our photos, this church relic can both be used on the wall (via a strong metal hook on the back) or free standing on a table. If antique religious...Category
