Intriguing folio sheet with three maps of the Holy Land and eastern Mediterranean with text and family trees describing the region during biblical times. At upper left a map of Palestine is divided into Galilee, Samaria, and Judea as traveled through by Jesus Christ. At upper right a map of the Eastern Mediterranean illustrates the travels of the Apostles. And at center is a map of the Middle East for the understanding of the history of the Kings. The balance of the sheet is comprised of genealogical diagrams and historical text. This map was copied from Henry Abraham Chatelain's nearly identical map and published by Roussel le Clair.
