"Iudaea, seu Terra Sancta quae Hebraeorum sive Israelitarum in suas Duodecim Tribus Divisa; Secretis ab Invicem Regnis Iuda, et Israel...", Sanson, Guillaume

Fine, decorative map of the kingdoms of Judea and Israel with tribal divisions and a wealth of place names and topographical detail, including the locations of royal and priestly cities, and sanctuaries. Decorated with two fine cartouches. The drape-style title cartouche is held aloft by putti and includes biblical figures; at right Abraham is shown preparing himself to sacrifice his son, Isaac, while at left is the High Priest. The lower mileage-scale cartouche features the two spies of Moses carrying the oversized bunch of grapes. Published in Atlas Contractus by Pieter Schenk.
