Its Latin title, *Terra Sancta quae in Sacris Terra Promissionis*, calls the land both the Holy Land and the Promised Land of Scripture, which signals that the map was meant to be read alongside the Bible rather than used for travel. European mapmakers of this kind, working from the sixteenth through the eighteenth century, often marked the tribal territories described in the Old Testament, along with sites such as Jerusalem, the Jordan River and the Sea of Galilee. Such maps hung in churches, schools and private homes, and they show how a region most Europeans never saw was pictured through scripture and tradition.
