Religious Antique Map of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, circa 1750

About the Item

Antique map titled 'Palaestina in XII. Tribus (..)'. Large map of the Holy Land, published by the Homann Heirs for the Maior Atlas Superiore following the cartography of the theologian Johann Christoph Harenberg. The map divides the region into the territories of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, as well as featuring the neighbouring kingdoms and nations of Egypt, the Edomites, the Nabataeans, the Moabites, the Ammonites, Syria, and the Arabian Desert. The territory of each of the twelve sons of Jacob is presented in full hand colour, and mountains, rivers, and lakes are shown pictorially. In the top left corner of the map, a large inset map on a scroll shows the division of Palestine into its biblical kingdoms. The title of the map is enclosed in a decorative baroque cartouche in the bottom right corner, while a banner in the top right features a lengthy dedication to Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick. Published circa 1750.
