"Geographiae Sacrae ex Veteri et Novo Testamento Desumptae Tabula Prima, quae Totius Orbis Partes Continet", Sanson/Mariette

This fine map illustrates the lands described in the Old and New Testament with only biblical place names indicated. The inset at bottom left balances the composition opposite the decorative title cartouche. Titled Israelitarum Mansiones in Deserto (the stations of the Israelites in the desert), it is a small map of the route of the Exodus. This state includes Mariette's imprint to the right of the inset.

A dark impression with contemporary outline color in the map and later color in the cartouche, on a bright sheet with the watermarks of a large coat of arms and the symbol for the Society of Jesus. There is very light toning along the centerfold, light offsetting of the title cartouche, and two small worm holes along the centerfold at bottom.
