Christian van Adrichom (1585-1533) was a catholic priest who was born in Delft (Holland). He wrote a number of works about the Holy Land. This book is a comprehensive description of the Holy Land, with twelve maps. Six editions of the book were printed, the first in 1590. Adrichom's maps and studies influenced all later cartographers. Adrichom used sources from his era that were lost over time, therefore this work is extremely important to the historic study of the Holy Land in the second half of the 16th century. As mentioned, the maps of this edition are not listed by Laor. However, Laor describes the maps of the first edition in numbers: 7-18 and 934.
