About this Item

This 1748 engraved map illustrates the migration patterns of the Celts (or Gomerians) in Europe and the Scythians in Asia, reflecting historical theories about the movement of ancient peoples. Japhethâ s descendants were believed to have spread across Europe, Anatolia, and parts of Central Asia, influencing various civilizations. In medieval and early modern European tradition, Japheth was considered the progenitor of European peoples. The map provides insights into how scholars of the time understood the dispersal of these groups across continents. The engraving was printed in London by T. Osborne, A. Miller. 1 folding plate.
