Description

Extremely rare separately published map of the Holy Land, Cyprus, Asia Minor and the Eastern Mediterranean and contiguous regions, published in Paris by Jacob (Jacques) Honervogt.

The map illustrates the travels of the Apostle Paul, based upon the Gospel of Luke, from the New Testament.

Jacob (or Jacques) Honervogt (c.1583-c.1694), a native of Cologne, mainly published engravings but is known to have published at least 16 maps, primarily based upon the work of other mapmakers.

The maps are exceptionally rare -- none are mentioned by Pastoureau.
