This handsome and uncommon map of the Kingdom of Judea features good detail throughout. It shows the extent of Palestine during the reign of the sons of Herod the Great up to Christ's time. This map is identical to La Rue's previous map published in 1651 in his La Terre Sainte en Six Cartes Geographiques, engraved by Jean Sommer, however here has been completely re-engraved by Joseph Thoaldus.
