Bernard Lamy (1646-1715) was a French Catholic Hebraist. His Apparatus Biblicus enjoyed great popularity and was translated into French and Spanish. Laor treats the maps here at some length, utilizing however later editions than our own. Whereas our map of the Land of Israel was executed by M. Demasso, Laor describes that executed by Laurentius Basilius (Venice, 1753). Likewise, Laor refers to Basilius’ execution of the map of the Old World (Venice, 1733). And again, in describing the map of ancient Jerusalem, Laor relied on the Venice 1733 edition, rather than our map executed by M. Demasso. See E. Laor, Maps of the Holy Land (1986), pp. 52, 155; EJ, Vol. VIII, col. 40
