Tabula Terrae Canaan Abrahae Tempore et Anteadventum Filior Israel Cvm Vicinis et Finitimis Regionib
Uncommon map of the Holy Land (Canaan) at the time of Abraham. Embellished with ships and a sea monster. Cities, rivers, and mountains are marked, many incorrectly, including an amusingly misshapen Cyprus. The map covers modern-day Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Israel, and Palestine. North is oriented to the left of the sheet.
