Terra Sancta a petro Laictain perlus trata et ab eius ore et schedis a Christiano schrot in tabulam redacta

The map shows the entire Holy Land (Terra Sancta) with a magnificent ship staffage and the scene of Jonah being thrown to the whale. There is also a mileage cartouche and a title cartouche with three different depictions of biblical scenes with Jesus. Latin text on the reverse, p. 97. This map is based on the 9-sheet map of Palestine by Christian Schrot (1570) and was designed according to sources by the Dutch astronomer Petrus Laiksteen, which he had collected on his travels to the Holy Land.
