Title of the map:

"CARTE DE LA TERRE SAINTE DIVISEE DANS TOUTES SES PARTIES SELON LE NOMBRE DES TRIBUS D'ISRAEL AVEC UNE LISTE DES EVECHEZ DE LA PALESTINE, TIREE DE LA NOTICE QUI S'EN TROUVE DANS LA BIBLIOTHEQUE DU ROI TRES CHRETIEN".


Large antique copper engraved map of Holy Land, by Henri Abraham CHATELAIN (1684-1743). The region is divided according to the territories allotted to the twelve tribes of Israel. Panels of French text listing the bishoprics of Palestine surround the map.



Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684-1743) was a parisian Huguenot pastor. 

His famous work is the "Atlas Historique", published in seven volumes. Originally published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720 by L'Honoré et Châtelain, L'Atlas Historique was corrected, increased and republished until 1739, the date of the fourth and last edition. 

This encyclopedic work explains the history and the genealogy of the continents, with the geography, cosmography, topography, heraldry, and ethnography.  The text is from Nicolas Gueudeville, a French geographer. Henri Chatelain represents the golden age of French cartography.
