Jewish maps of the Holy Land were drawn by Jewish scholars as part of biblical and rabbinical literature and within early modern Jewish scholarship. Their development has never been discussed in scientific literature, this book fills the lacuna. It tracks two parallel courses of development: Traditional depictions of the borders in simple sketches following Rahi's tradition, and artistic pictorial maps which followed European-Christian maps.
