This map is one of two that were included in the Rudimentum Novitiorum, an encyclopedic history of the world, printed for the first time by Brandis in Lübeck and regularly reprinted in richly illustrated editions. The map is surrounded by wind heads with Jerusalem depicted in the centre of the map, with green and blue shading for the hills, brown for the buildings, yellow for the deserts, and red underlining for the place names. The map also contains a few vignettes of biblical scenes, such as Moses and the tablets on Mount Sinai and the army drowning in the Red Sea.
