First state of this splendid map depicting the travels of St. Paul throughout the Eastern Mediterranean based on various sources. The title cartouche is flanked by two Biblical views including the shipwreck of the Apostle Paul at Malta. At the bottom is a verse of scripture from St. Paul's letters (Corinthians, 2:5). The Mediterranean Sea is highlighted with a pair of sea monsters and sailing ships. Latin text on verso, with "Parergon Theatri" in an ornate frame-style cartouche.

A nice impression with full contemporary color on a faintly toned sheet with an eagle watermark and a bit of marginal soiling. There are professional repairs to a few short separations along the centerfold.
