Ofen, Royal Hungarian University Press, 1817:
The first Hebrew Atlas. The maps represent: The dispersion of the sons of Noah and spread of mankind across Asia, Africa and Europe; the encampment of the Hebrew tribes in the desert surrounding the Tabernacle; and a schematic map of the Land of Israel showing the Tribal division of the country between the Jordan and Mediterranean. This first edition proved immediately popular, so that a second edition appeared in Vienna only a year later. See E. & G. Wajntraub, Hebrew Maps of the Holy Land (1992) pp. 129-37 and JE, Vol. II p. 317.
