Geography of the Land of Cana’an. Samuelis Bocharti [Leiden, 1692?]. Includes Maps
Samuelis Bocharti Geographia sacra, seu, Phaleg et Canaan. [Leiden, 1692?]. Geographic work on the land of Cana’an and other nations mentioned in Genesis. Latin. Includes 13 maps printed on special paper, including large folded maps. The maps of the various lands are partially written in Hebrew [!]. There are very few known maps of the Holy Land and the Middle East from such an early era in Hebrew. Missing the title page, but including all the maps. Portrait of the author at the beginning. Samuelis Bocharti (1599-1667) was an Orientalist and a French Protestant priest. Old parchment binding. Minimal aging stains. Very fine condition.
