Abrahami Patriarchae Peregrinatio et Vita [“The Wanderings and Life of Abraham the Patriarch.”]
Double-page engraved map.
15 x 19 inches (38 x 48 cm) to mat. Finely framed.
Antwerp, first edition 1590 (or later):
A strong impression. Since this map is uncolored, the quality of the engraving is most visible. “The Wanderings of Abraham is among the most elaborate of Ortelius's compositions. It demonstrates his combined skills as a cartographer and an artist, and his accomplishment as an historian” (Kenneth Nebenzahl).
