Exquisite Dutch Bible map published by Pieter & Jacob Keur. It covers the region between the Mediterranean and the Persian Gulf, depicting numerous Biblical sites, including the wanderings of the Children of Israel, Jonas & the whale, and the Garden of Eden. Banner style title with the four corners of the map containing fully colored vignettes; the creation of Adam & Eve in Paradise, Eve offering Adam the apple, and the expulsion from the Garden of Eden. At center in the bottom is a large scene of the Ark in the flood. A very attractive map in fine condition with lovely later color.
