From: Heinrich Buenting, Itinerarium Sacrae Scripturae, published by Andreas Gutterwitz (Old Swedish edition). Map of Israel during Biblical times, divided into three regions: Galilee, Samaria and Judea. Outlines the shoreline from Sidon through Gaza with Biblical locations marked such as Jerusalem and Jericho. Text accompanying the map describes where Zecharis, the father of John the Baptist, lived. This is one of ten maps by Buenting (1545-1606) in which he rewrote the Bible as an illustrated travel book.
