This map shows the northern portion of the Holy Land from the Asi River in the southern tip of present-day Turkey to Sidon in present-day Lebanon. There is good detail of towns and roads, with a long road connecting the cities of Aleppo, Hama and Damascus. A lovely and uncommon map published by Guillaume Delisle's younger brother.
