A large and detailed pictorial reconstruction of biblical Jerusalem, showing one hundred and fifty nine buildings, gates, places of historical interest or of historic events. The map was accompanied by a booklet explaining in German and Latin the numbers on the map (missing here, as often the case). This example is different to the one mentioned in Laor.
