Old laid paper, watermarked with a shield.Laurence Worms - Ash Rare Books : "Senex finished his seven-year apprenticeship in August 1702 and immediately opened his own shop: his father had died the previous year - there was probably an inheritance. It was "opposite to the South Portico of St. Clement's Church in the Strand" - this would have been more or less the view from his window. His earliest publications were modest enough, standard fare for the period, but one of these early books, seemingly his first solo publication, was a fresh edition of Caradoc's "History of Wales", published in 1702. Clavell had brought out an edition a few years earlier, but the difference was that Senex now included a little map.He and a new partner, John Maxwell, returned to retail premises at the Sign of the Globe, "going into Salisbury Court", off Fleet Street. I take this to be the Maxwell who later translated Isaac Newton's "General Scholium", published by Senex in 1715.".

The map's central focus is the division of the Holy Land, with each tribe's allocated region distinctly outlined in vibrant hand-applied colors. Surrounding the map are columns of text that list the dioceses of Palestine, providing additional insight into the ecclesiastical and administrative divisions of the time.

Hand-Colored Map of the Holy Land Divided Among the Twelve Tribes, c.1720 This striking antique map, titled "Iudaea seu Palaestina ob Sacratissima Redemtoris Vestigia Hodie Dicta Terra Sancta Prout olim in Deodecim Tribus Divisa Separatis ab Invicem Regnis Iuda et Israel", was created circa 1720 by Johann Baptist Homann, one of the most prominent German mapmakers of the early 18th century. The map offers a detailed and vivid depiction of the Holy Land, meticulously divided according to the twelve tribes of Israel. Covering the region from Sidon in the north to the desert of Sirbonis in the south, the map is based on earlier cartographic work by Guillaume Sanson. It includes notable geographic elements such as the Kishon River, which is curiously depicted as linking the Mediterranean Sea with the Sea of Galilee?an imaginative interpretation typical of early biblical cartography. Homann's engraving is visually enriched by two highly decorative vignettes. In the upper left, a dramatic scene shows Moses on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments amidst clouds and divine lightning. In the lower right corner, an inset map traces the route of the Exodus and Forty Years in the Wilderness. This inset is framed by figures of Moses, Aaron, and two of the twelve spies carrying a large cluster of grapes?symbolizing the bounty of the Promised Land. The map's original color remains within the main body, delineating the tribal territories in a pastel palette of pinks, yellows, and greens. The cartouches and vignette scenes feature later hand-coloring that adds vivid contrast to the composition. The typography and Latin place names further emphasize the scholarly and theological intent behind this historical map. Homann's works are prized for their decorative appeal and rich symbolism, making this map a compelling piece for collectors of biblical history, Judaica, or antique cartography. Condition Report: A strong, dark impression with original hand coloring in the main map and later enhancement in the cartouches. Minor toning and light soiling along the centerfold, with approximately a dozen small wormhole tracks scattered in the image area. Pencil graticule grid added by a previous owner. Paper generally strong and stable. Framing Tips: This map would benefit from an elegant gold or walnut-colored frame to enhance the 18th-century aesthetic. Use an off-white or cream archival mat to highlight the pastel hand coloring. Consider a museum-grade UV protective glass to preserve the pigments and prevent further toning. Technique: Engraving with hand color Maker: Johann Baptist Homann, Nuremberg, circa 1720.
