This is an extremely scarce map of the region described in the Old Testament. It covers from Rome to Persia and south to Egypt. The Arabian Peninsula is greatly distorted. The map is filled with region and place-names and the route of the Wandering of the Jews is graphically presented. This map was separately published, and occasionally found in composite atlases. We can find no record of it in any dealer's catalogs and only one auction record in 1998, which was for this example.
