summary

The first Hebrew Atlas . This second edition followed the first produced in Ofen just a year earlier. Both editions are exceptionally rare. “The maps represent: (1) the spread of mankind after the Deluge; (2) the migration of the Hebrew tribes in the desert; (3) their camps; (4) the Mediterranean and the projected division of Palestine; (5) Palestine according to Jewish and Gentile sources.” JE, Vol. II p. 317. Cf. E. & G. Wajntraub, Hebrew Maps of the Holy Land (1992) pp. 129-37.

ff. 8. Extreme lower corners neatly repaired, maps worn and laid down, some tears at folds, few stains. Contemporary boards, worn. 8vo.
