A finely engraved map of the Middle East including part of Egypt and the Holy Land (comprised of Israel, Lebanon, and Jordan) from a Staten Bible (first official Bible translation from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek languages into Dutch) dated 1682. The ‘Staten’ bibles, published between 1637 and ca. 1760 contained 5 maps: The World, Paradise, The Perigrinations, The Promised Land Canaan, The Travels of St. Paul and a Plan of Jerusalem. Vignettes depict the story of Adam and Eve with an image of Noah’s Ark framed in a decorative border at lower center.
This map is an excellent and lavish example from the golden age of Dutch and Flemish cartography.
