Biblical geography Relief shown pictorially Rare 2-sheet modern map of the Holy Land, which appeared in the Bernard Venetus de Vitalibus' ed. of the Rome edition of Ptolemy's Geographia. The map is oriented with east at the top and shows the whole of Palestine on both sides of the Jordan, divided into the 12 tribes. The Mediterranean Coastline runs from Sidon to Gaza. The Jordan River in its wide meanderings is shown in a thin line. The map is based upon a modern map by Petrus Vesconte, published in manuscript form by Marino Sanuto, ca. 1320, and updated by Donnus Nicholaus Germanaus in 1482.
