<<RARE.>> The fold out map shows the borders according to the tribes with many extra geographical details including names of cities and explanations. The title and introduction state that the first edition contained many errors, especially in the map. The publisher Yaakov ben Yitzchak of Horadna (Grodno), is proud that this corrected edition contains a completely new map composed by his brother, a great Rabbinical scholar (as attested to in the approbations), who died at an early age. See E. & G. Wajntraub, Hebrew Maps of the Holy Land (1992), pp. 127-28.
