summary
From: De Jode’s Speculum Orbis Terrae, folio 13.
Rare map of the Holy Land, engraved by the brothers Johannes and Lucas van Deutecum after the broadsheet map by Tilemann Stella of 1557, now lost. Along the lower border is a prospect of Jerusalem and two smaller insets, showing the chapel at Jerusalem and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
With only two editions, Holy Land maps by de Jode are far rarer than those by his contemporary Ortelius.
16.125 x 22.125 inches.
