Description
Fine example of this extremely rare map of the Holy Land, based upon a larger map of the Holy Land by Wolfgang Wissenberg.
Franciscus's map of the Holy Land is a remarkable combination of bird's eye view and map. Depiction of the buildings in a number of towns, including Jerusalem, can be seen. A portion of the Jew's Exodus from Egypt can be shown, including scenes on both sides of the Red Sea and extending to the Jordan River, with the wandering Jews depicted in the style of military columns.
The map includes an elaborate cartouche incorporating cupids and tritons. Numerous towns, tribes and encampments delineated. The map was later copied by Fernando Bertelli in 1563.
