Historical map of Palestine from the late 16th century, created by Abraham Ortelius in 1573 as a hand-colored engraving.
The map depicts the territory of Palestine colored in yellow. It is a physical-political map, also showing rivers, lakes, mountain ranges, and major cities. In the upper left and lower right corners, there are two inscriptions embedded in a heraldic design.
Abraham Ortelius (Latinized as: Abrahamus Ortelius or Orthellius, from the Flemish Abraham Oertel, Ortels, or Hortels) was a Flemish cartographer and geographer. Ortelius, along with Mercator, was a great founder of Flemish cartography and is remembered for publishing the first modern atlas.
