Superb graphic map of the eastern Mediterranean, from Rome to Babylon, depicting the spread of Christianity as reported in the Acts of the Apostles. This is the final map of the standard set of five maps normally found in Dutch Bibles. Fifteen Biblical vignettes including the apostles receiving heavenly inspiration and the apocalypse surround the map. The map includes a small inset of the whole Mediterranean region and is further decorated with an elaborate compass rose, sailing ship and strapwork distance scale. Second state with D.R.M. Mathes added to imprint.
