Item description from seller

Original copper engraved map of the Middle East (35 x 43 cm) focussing on the Levant and northern Arabia, issued in an edition of Sir Walter Raleigh's History of the World [first, 1614]. Some light marginal toning not affecting map, generally a very good copy. William Hole's map of the Middle East issued for Sir Walter Raleigh's Historie of the World. The map covers from the Mediterranean and Cyprus to the Persian Gulf and from the Red Sea to Cappadocia. The map shows various Biblical and Historical regions throughout. Arabia identified as "Arabia the Happie". The map identifies the Home of Abraham at Vrocha (Chaldea), the first plantation of Chus, Babylon, Jerusalem the Garden of Eden, the City of Petra and the passage taken by Abraham from Charran into Egypt, illustrated with walking figures. Raleigh's successful but unfinished history ends with the year 130 BC. This map shows Nimrod's Biblical campaings and other movements of people mentioned in Genesis.
