Description
Interesting hand-drawn manuscript map of the Holy Land featuring a simplified configuration of the territories of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
The map shows a simplified plan for Jerusalem divided among: The Holy Portion for the Sanctuary and the Priests; The Portion for the Levites; The portion for the City; and A Portion for the Prince.
An inset in the upper-left corner shows the Eastern Hemisphere (Old World) with a strange rendering of Australia (labeled "New Holland"), that map titled: "A map of Europe, Asia, and Africa to shew the central situation of the city of Jerusalem."
