Magnificent wall map based on Adrichom's Situs Terrae Promissionis. The map shows the region divided into the twelve tribes on both sides of the Jordan River, the shoreline running from Sidon to Alexandria. The Kishon River is shown as connecting the Sea of Galile with the Mediterranean. In the Dead Sea, the four burning cities are depicted. Inset maps in the top corners depict Abraham's journey and the wanderings of the Israelites through the desert. The maps first appeared in Jannson's Accuratissima orbis antiqui delineatio in 1652 (without Horn's text) and in 1653 (with the text).
