This rare little map is a reduced version of Visscher's bird's-eye plan of Jerusalem. While it is an imaginary plan, it provides great detail of the city walls and streets, with 36 principal sites numbered and keyed to a table in a cartouche at bottom. This is from the only Dutch Bible published by Samuel Schoonwald.
