Hand-colored copperplate engraving from the publication: Speed, John, The Prospect of the world, London, Thomas Basset and Richard Chiswell, 1676. p.55. The map was originally dated 1611 and included in Speed's "Genealogies of Holy Scriptures," inserted in the "Editio Princeps" of the King James Bible, published by Robert Barker in 1611. It was reissued several times and the date changed to 1651. It resembles Ortelius' Palestine after S. Tilemannus. The plan of Jerusalem is after Arias Montanus.
