Homann based this map of the Holy Land on the cartography of Guillaume Sanson. It presents the region divided among the twelve tribes of Israel and covers from Sidon to Sirbonis L in the Egyptian desert. The Kishon River is shown as connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Sea of Galilee. The dramatic title cartouche features Moses receiving the Ten Commandments and inset in the opposite corner is a map showing the Exodus and Wandering surrounded by a finely engraved scene including Moses, Aaron, and the two spies of Moses bearing a huge bunch of grapes.

A dark impression with contemporary color in the map and later color in the cartouche and vignette. There is light soiling, minor toning along the centerfold, and about a dozen small worm tracks in the image. A previous owner has added a graticule in pencil over the entire map.
