Description
A scarce map of Egypt, orientated with north to the right, with an elaborate title cartouche featuring the pyramids. It is interesting that the author has attempted to incorporate placenames from Hebrew, Turkish and Arabic.
As this map did not appear until 1658 it is comparatively scarce: this example was published by Schenk & Valk, with added grid lines.
