Historical map of Palestine from the late 16th century, created by Abraham Ortelius in 1573 as a hand-coloured engraving.
The map shows the territory of Palestine coloured in yellow. It is a physical and political map, as it also shows the rivers, lakes, mountain ranges and main cities. In the upper left and lower right corners are two inscriptions set within cartouches.
Abraham Ortelius (Latinised as Abrahamus Ortelius or Orthellius, from the Flemish Abraham Oertel, Ortels or Hortels) was a Flemish cartographer and geographer. Together with Mercator, Ortelius was the great founder of Flemish cartography and is remembered for publishing the first modern atlas.
