Detailed
Description		    This fine decorative map by the Dutch cartographer Theodorus Danckerts (1663-1727) was published about 1680-90 in a Dutch Composite Atlas of various prominent Dutch mapmakers (L. & G. Valck, Danckerts family, de Wit, etc.). The map is ornated in the upper left corner with a figurative title-cartouche with puttis. This is a reworking of Sanson’s 1675 map of the area, with a splendid new cartouche in the upper left. Judea or the Holy Land divided among the 12 Tribes on both sides of the Jordan, and according to the different regions. The shore line runs from Sidon to Gaza. An elaborate cartouche shows the High Priest offering sacrifice; the figure of a seated woman leaning on the Tablets of the Law, and the text, held aloft by angels.
