ABRAHAM BAR JACOB
Derech HaMasao’th Araba’im Shanah BeMidbar VeHaRochav VeHa’Orech shel Eretz HaKedoshah. Map of Holy Land extracted from the Amsterdam Hagadah.
Engraved copperplate map. Cartouche lower right enumerates the forty-one stops of the Israelites in the desert. A farmstead and cows symbolize that the Land is rich with milk and honey.
13.5 x 21 inches (34 x 53.5 cm).
Amsterdam, 1695:
A milestone achievement in Jewish mapmaking. Based on Adrichom, this was the first Hebrew map of the Holy Land. In the late 17th century, Amsterdam was the world capital of both Hebrew printing and cartography. Hence it was only a matter of time until these two fields converged, the present map being the result.
