Antique Print of Reba, The King of The Arab People, 1677

About the Item

Description: Antique print, titled: 'Reba, Koning der Arabieren (…)' - This plate shows Reba, the King of Arab people. Reba was one of five Midianite kings killed during the time of Moses by an Israelite expedition led by Phinehas, son of Eleazar according to Numbers 31:8 and Joshua 13:21. Midian is a geographical place mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and Quran. William G. Dever states that biblical Midian was in the "northwest Arabian Peninsula, on the east shore of the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea", an area which he notes was "never extensively settled until the 8th–7th century B.C." Source unknown, to be determined. Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Olfert Dapper' after an anonymous artist. Olfert Dapper (c. 1635 - 1689) was a Dutch physician and writer. He wrote books about history and geography, although he never travelled outside Holland. Until today, his book Description of Africa (1668) is a key text for Africanists. Condition: Good, given age. Paper slightly browned. Light damp stain bottom right. A few small spots. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study scan carefully.
