From: Adrichom, Theatrum Terræ Sanctæ. Oriented to the east, this Itinerarium depicts the Exodus and wandering of the Israelites in the Wilderness of Pharan (Numbers 10:12) and extends from the Dead Sea in the north to the Gulf of Suez in the south (#86); Egypt and the Nile River Delta appears in the west (#67). Numerous Biblical sites are identified by both name and number, which are more fully described in Adrichom’s text. Mount Sinai is shown with Moses atop and the Israelites dancing around the Golden Calf below (#92). The Tabernacle is also depicted surrounded by the encampment of the Tribes.
