<<A fine, wide-margined, uncut copy. Maps issued on thick paper.>> The Dutch Orientalist Hadrian Reland (1676-1718) was the first scholar to break away from the traditional cartographic view of the Holy Land that was based upon the Bible, thus producing here the first geographically accurate maps of the Land of Israel and surrounding region.
