Terra Sancta quae in Sacris Terra Promissionis olim Palestina.

16 x 20 inches (41 x 51 cm) to mat. Finely framed.
Amsterdam, first edition 1629 (or later):
“The map was drawn by Jodocus Hondius Junior, who died in 1629, before its publication. Blaeu bought the plate, replaced Hondius’ name with his own, and included the map in this first edition of his atlas and in all subsequent editions, without changing the date 1629” (Laor).
