The first Hebrew Atlas. This second edition followed the first, produced in. Budapest (Ofen), just a year earlier. Both editions are exceptionally rare. “The maps represent: (1) the spread of mankind after the Deluge; (2) the migration of the Hebrew tribes in the desert; (3) their camps; (4) the Mediterranean and the projected division of Palestine; (5) Palestine according to Jewish and Gentile sources.” Cf. E. & G. Wajntraub, Hebrew Maps of the Holy Land (1992) pp. 129-37. And see JE, Vol. II p. 317.
