This map of the Holy Land depicts the 12 tribes and is flanked by columns of French text describing the history of the area between 2982-92 BC. It is surrounded by a rococo-style border printed from a separate plate. The map appeared in Buy de Mornas' lavishly produced historical atlas, a three-volume set covering advances in cosmography, geology, astronomy, and oceanography and the history, geography, and cartography of the Ancient World.
