Terra Sancta, a Petro Laicstain perlustrata, et ab eius ore et schedis a Christiano Schrot in tabulam redacta
Contemporary coloured map of the Holy Land published in the 1592 Latin edition of Abraham Ortelius’ „Theatrum Orbis Terrarum”. Based on a 9-sheet map of Christian Sgrothen (published around 1570), who cartographically derived the depiction on the sources from Petrus Laiksteen’s regional visit in 1566. The engraver illustrated his work with the scene of Jonas and the whale and added two embellished cartouches containing the title of the map (and additional vignettes of Jesus’ life at the top) and the bar scale. Latin text on the back.
Dimensions: 370 x 505 (420 x 540) mm. Fine copy with slight toning along centrefold.
