[MAP]. JANSSON, Jan (1588-1664). Tabula Patriarcharum Abrahami, Isaaci et Iacobi. Amsterdam: [ca. 1652-1684]. Hand-colored copperplate map (visible area: 390 x 528 mm). On white paper (map a bit toned, a few vertical creases, some thumbsoiling; hand-coloring is later; not examined out of frame). Matted, framed and glazed. This map details the journeys of the three patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jansson, a Dutch cartographer and printer, was one of the most prominent printers of maps and atlases of his day. In 1612, he married Elizabeth Hondius, daughter of the legendary cartographer, Jodocus Hondius Sadly, Jodocus died in 1612, so Jansson stepped into his business (along with his brother-in-law Henricus), and they published the revised edition of the Mercator-Hondius atlas, naming it the Atlas Novus. This map comes from a different atlas, Accuratissima Orbis Delineatio, sive Geographia Vetus, Sacra & Profana (1654-1684).
