An educational map of the Holy Land

LEONARD, C.W.

Leonard's Chronological and Geographical Family Guide to the Holy Bible.
London: C.W. Leonard, c.1850. Original colour. Dissected and laid on linen, edged with red tape, total 760 x 215mm, folded into original roan covers.

A fascinating collection of information about the bible. The centre image contains maps of the Mediterranean, the 40 Years in the Desert and a Canaan c.200 BC, and three family trees, interspersed with tables. At first glance the borders appear to be ornate designs, but they are in fact more tables, including: a timeline following Bishop Usher's schemata from 4004BC to 100 AD; a list of Jewish sects; a list of Jewish weights and measures; and a list of the Books of the Old & New Testaments, with probable authors.
