Title: Voyage Des Enfans D'Israel Dans Le Desert Depuis sortie D'Egypte Par la Mer Rouge Insquest au Pays De Canaan . . . Map Maker: Pierre Mortier
Description: Decorative map of the Holy Land, showingthe wanderings of Moses and the Children of Israel through Egypt. The map tracks the route from Rahmeses to Pi Hachiroth on the Red Sea, then shows the Israelites crossing, while Pharoahs soldiers are swallowed up by the Sea. The route to Canaan then meanders for 8 years, until Moses reaches Mt Sinai and includes the scene of idolotry worship. The wanderings continue to year 33, where Kades and Moses' exodus is shown. The route then continues with a few other vignettes past the Dead Sea to Jordan in the 43rd year. Each of the years is represented by a named encampment. Large decorative cartouche. From Histoire du Vieux et du Nouveau Testament, first published in Amsterdam in 1725.
