Classic woodblock map of the region showing numerous towns along the fertile coast and mountains, rivers and lakes. Flourishing calligraphy fills much of the empty space on the map, as is characteristic of the Petri editions. The cartography is after Ortelius. Title is engraved at top, outside the neatline. Two text blocks within the map provide descriptions of Judea and Jordan.

References: Laor #532.
