Hierosolyma Urbs Sancta, Iudeae, Totiusque Orientis Longe Clarissima, qua amplitudine ac magnificentia hoc nostro aevo conspicua est [Holy City of Jerusalem, by far the most famous city of Judah and the entire Orient…]. A hand-colored engraving from the atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" by Georg Braun and engraver Franz Hogenberg. [Second part; Köln: Petrum à Brachel between 1612 and 1616]. Latin.
A bird's eye view of Jerusalem from the east. The map was intended to be a realistic representation of the city (unlike imaginary maps depicting Jerusalem in ancient times), but follows some contradictory conventions, such as depicting the southern front of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre although generally portraying the city from the east. Inset key listing 48 sites in Jerusalem and its surroundings. Top verse from the book of Ezekiel (Latin): "This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the center of the nations, with countries all around her".
Five figures in oriental dress are seen in the foreground of the map. Numerous maps in "Civitates Orbis Terarrum" depict figures in local attire. As stated in the introduction by editor Georg Braun, this was meant to prevent the Turks from obtaining military secrets from the atlas, "as their religion forbids them from looking at representations of the human form".
Latin text on verso: "Hierosolyma" (on both sheets, p. 54).
Engraved map: approx. 32X41 cm. Leaf: approx. 39.5X49 cm (two conjoined sheets). Matted with strips of tape to upper edge. Good condition. Slightly browned. Stains and small tears to edges. Two tiny holes to top.
Literature: Jerusalem in Braun & Hogenberg Civitates, by Rehav Rubin. The Cartographic Journal, 1996. pp. 119-129.
See Laor 1040-1040B.

Three engraved maps of Jerusalem depicting the Temple:
• "De Heylige en Wytvermaerde Stadt Ierusalem, Eerst Genaemt Salem", an imaginary bird's eye view of Jerusalem. By the Visscher family (Dutch family of cartographers). Presumably from a Dutch edition of the Bible. [Amsterdam?, mid-17th century?].
The map depicts the Temple and Herod's palace. On its lower part, illustrations of the crowning of Solomon and the crucifixion of Jesus. Printed at the bottom of the map: "Dese Kaerte wert gestelt voor het 3. Cap. Nehemia" [this map was chosen for chapter 3 of Nechemya]. Text in Dutch on verso ("Beshryvinge Van Jerusalem…").
Leaf: 37X49 cm. Fair-good condition. Browned paper. Fold lines. Tears along margins and fold lines, some of them open (affecting text on verso and slightly affecting engraving), some of them reinforced with tape mounted on verso.
Laor 1155.
• "Ierusalem, et suburbia eius, sicut tempore Christi florui" [Jerusalem and its outskirts in the time of Christ), a map of Jerusalem by Christian van Adrichem.
An imaginary map of Jerusalem and its outskirts, with small illustrations of sites and events referred to in the Bible and in other sources, starting with the kingdom of David and Solomon and ending with the crucifixion of Jesus.
The map is similar to the map printed since 1590 in various edition of the book "Theatrum Terrae Sanctae" by Christian van Adrichem (Laor 934) yet differs from it in several details (among other things, it lacks the dedication to the Archbishop of Köln. The text in the lower right corner is erased). Without text on verso.
Leaf: approx. 35.5X48 cm. Good-fair condition. Fold lines. Tears, some of them open, repaired with paper.
• "Hierusalem", map of Jerusalem with the Temple in its center, after Romeyn de Hooghe. [Amsterdam? 18th century?].
Leaf: 38X47 cm. Good-fair condition. Browning to margins. Stains. Tears to margins (not affecting the engraving).
