1699 - " L'ANCIENNE VILLE DE JERUSALEM & SES ENVIRONS "

A fine original antique engraving, this imaginary bird's-eye plan of Jerusalem depicts the ancient city oriented to the north. Numerous buildings are depicted in a three-dimensional manner, including the massive Temple of Solomon. The Calvary is shown just outside the city walls. Published in Bernard Lamy's Introduction a l'Ecriture Sainte.
