Portion of the Tribe of Naphtali. “Napthali est Cerva Emissa quae Profert Verba Elegante”.
Hand-colored.
11 x 13 inches (28 x 33 cm) to mat. Finely framed.
London, first edition 1650, (or later):
This map depicts the inheritance of the Tribe of Menasseh, which occupied the northeastern Galilee region. The Biblical Jael is depicted hammering into Sissera’s skull, saving the Israelites from his army. Nearby, accidental murderers flee their victims’ blood-avengers claiming sanctuary in the city of refuge Kadesh. The tribe's emblem, a hart, appears opposite the dedication. The map is dedicated to Thomas Bowyer, a financier of Fuller’s historical and cartographical works.
