EDITORS COMMENTS
This intricately detailed map, titled "Palestina et Terra Sancta" and dated 1806, offers a glimpse into the historical geography of the Middle East, focusing on the region now known as Palestine and the Holy Land. The map, which is adorned with Latin names for various places, was created during a time when European powers were increasing their influence in the region. The map provides a clear representation of the coastal cities, including Tyre, Sidon, and Jaffa, with their ports marked as important points of entry and exit. The Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth, is also depicted, along with the Syrian border and the bustling city of Damascus. The heart of the map, however, is the region of Galilee and Judea, which includes the ancient city of Jerusalem. The map's key reveals that the scale is set at 1:1,250,000, providing a sense of the vastness of the land. The map serves as an essential historical document, illustrating the complex geography of the region during a time of significant political and cultural change. It offers a window into the past, providing valuable context for understanding the rich history of the Middle East, particularly the Holy Land, and its enduring significance in world history.
