A large, marvelously detailed and beautifully colored map of the Holy Land surrounded by 18 panels depicting temple features and instruments including the seven-branched candlestick, the Arc of the Covenant, the altar of sacrifices, the Holy of Holies, and a plan and elevations of the Temple. At the center of the sheet, below the map itself, is a plan of ancient Jerusalem with a letter key to the principal monuments. A scarce and fascinating Holy Land map, from Francesco Quaresmius' Historica Theologica Et Moralis Terrae Sanctae Elucidatio.
