Description
Christian van Adrichem's map, from 1590, depicts the lands granted to the tribe of Simeon at the time of Joshua's division of the Twelve Tribes. Oriented to the east, it identifies the lands of the Philistines and woodlands rich in cedars. The tribe of Simeon occupied the region southwest of Canaan and was bordered by the lands granted to the tribes of Dan and Judah. Numerous biblical sites are mentioned throughout the map.
The map is the tenth and final map of the Holy Land prepared by Christian van Adrichem for publication in his Theatrum Terrae Sanctae. Adrichem's maps for the Theatrum were prepared between 1580 and 1585, but were published posthumously by his collaborator, Gerardis Brunius of Cologne, in 1590. The publication went through several subsequent editions and served as the basis for most subsequent maps of the Holy Land until well into the 18th century.
Etching, finely hand-colored, in excellent condition.

Christian Kruik van Adrichem (Delft 1533 - 1585)
|
Christian Kruik van Adrichem (February 13, 1533 - June 20, 1585), alternatively known as Christianus Crucius Adrichomius was a Dutch theologian active in the second half of the 16th century. Adrichem was born in Delft of a wealthy family - at one point his father, Adriaen Claesz, was mayor of Delft. Adrichem was ordained in 1566. He served as the director of the Convent of St. Barbara in Delft until expelled by the Protestant Reformation. Fleeing the anti-Catholic sentiment of the Reformation, Adrichem reestablished himself in Cologne (Koln) where compiled various religious works including his important historical atlas, the Theatrum Terrae Sanctae et Biblicarum Historiarum. Adrichem's important atlas was published posthumously by his associate Gerardis Brunius in 1590. The work went through numerous editions and served as the foundation of most subsequent maps of the Holy Land well into the 18th century.
