Historically, there have probably been more maps made of the Holy Land than any other part of the world.
The oldest extant map of the Holy land is the Madaba Mosaic in Jordan. Medieval World maps showed Jerusalem at the centre. It was common practise to insert maps of the Holy Land into Bibles. The introduction of printing greatly increased the volume of maps, and in some atlases there were a number of different versions.
Christian von Adrichom (1533-1585) a priest, was born in Delft. In 1592 he published his "Theatrum Terrae Sanctae". This included a large map of the Holy Land and nine others showing the location of the tribes of Israel and a detailed plan of Jerusalem. This popular format was repeated by Thomas Fuller in his Pisgah-Sight of Palestine published 1650.
