"Orbis Per Creationem Institutus... / Orbis Per Diluvium Destitutus…", Hooghe, Romain de

This is a very unusual and uncommon map depicting the region from Asia Minor to India and including all of the Arabian peninsula within a circle, and with the Garden of Eden at center. Surrounding the map are four scenes: Adam and Eve in the Garden, Noah's Ark, Moses receiving the Ten Commandments, and the birth of Christ. It is a very decorative and interesting map.

This example has been skillfully assembled from two separate copies of the map; the map being joined with the surrounding scenes. This restoration is VERY well done and is only recognizable when examined from the back.
