BLAEU, WILLEM JANSZOON.

Amsterdam, “1629”

Laor 106.

According to Laor: The map was drawn by Jodocus Hondius the Younger, who died in 1629 just prior to publication. Blaeu bought the plate and replaced Hondius’s name with his own. He included the map in his first atlas and all further editions leaving the date as 1629. Oriented to the west, with two compass roses, this itinerarium depicts the Exodus from Egypt and the wanderings of the Jews in the desert.
