[Cologne: Arnold Mylij]

Christian van Adrichem (1533-85) was a Delft-born priest who wrote several works on Jerusalem and the Holy Land. This is from the third edition of his Theatrum Terrae Sanctae et Biblicarum Historiarum (1600), a Biblical atlas that was extremely influential in its day, especially for the engraved maps. The work was translated into several languages, including English. The map of Jerusalem is simply outstanding.
