EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite map, titled "Palestina Sacra" or "Sacred Palestine," is a stunning example of cartographic art from the early 18th century. Created by the renowned German cartographer Johann Baptist Homann (1663-1724), this masterpiece dates back to approximately 1710. The map is a meticulously detailed representation of the Holy Land, divided into the twelve tribes of Israel as described in the Old Testament. Homann's "Map of the Holy Land Divided into the Twelve Tribes of Israel" is a testament to the rich history and religious significance of the region. The map is a beautiful fusion of cartography, fine art, and biblical history. The intricate copper engraving is further enhanced by delicate watercolor, adding depth and texture to the landscape. The map is not just a geographical representation but a visual interpretation of the biblical narrative. Each tribe is identified by its name, with the boundaries marked by precise lines and topographical features. The map also includes various points of interest, such as cities, mountains, and bodies of water, further enhancing its historical and educational value. The map reflects the European fascination with the Holy Land during this period, as well as the importance of biblical knowledge in shaping cultural and intellectual discourse. Homann's "Map of the Holy Land Divided into the Twelve Tribes of Israel" is a significant work of art and a valuable historical artifact, offering a unique perspective on the biblical narrative and the historical context of the Middle East during the early modern period.
