Elijah Mizrachi’s map of Eretz Israel is the first printed map on the Holy Land and first appeared in the Venice 1523 edition of his super-commentary. Although primitively drawn, it accurately describes the borders of Eretz Israel and the places mentioned in Deuteronomy. See: E. & G. Wajntraub, Hebrew Maps of the Holy Land (1992), pp.19-21
