Description
A very rare plan of modern Jerusalem oriented to the east; according to a note on the map, it was drawn after a map by Peter Laicstain.
A lettered key to the right.
Upper left a legend reads: "Pictura hac veteris et modernae Vrbis Hierosolymae typis excussa fuit Calkariae, anno 1570 apud Vincentiu Houdaen, nunc propter raritatem eius et quod tam saepe desideratur.
Hac forma impressa est apud Gerardum de Iode Antuerpiae." I.e., "These pictures of ancient and modern Jerusalem were published in Calcar by Vincentius Houdaen in 1570."
De Jode's map was in turn copied by Braun and Hogenberg in their first map of Jerusalem.
According to Laor: A topographic plan of modern Jerusalem oriented to the east. . . .These pictures of ancient and modern Jerusalem were published in Calcar by Vincentius Houdeaen in 1570. Today they are quite a rarity and much sought after. Here they are printed after the model by Gerardus de Jode in Antwerp. The plans published by Houdaen in Calcar are those of Laicstain, but today, no copy is extant.
Reference: Laor, Holy Land maps, 1052
Gerard de Jode (1508(?)-1591)
A native of Nijmegen. He began his career as a printer and engraver in Antwerp about 1550. He lived near the Bourse on the Catelijne Veste, or on "de Catte". He was in regular contact with Christoffel Plantin, to whom he sold many prints and maps. De Jode's business, likely a major one among Antwerp's many booksellers and printers, was represented at the Frankfurt fair, where he bought maps he later copied or resold. Most of the maps sold by De Jode have prototypes of Italian or German origin. Apart from his numerous separately published maps, Gerard de Jode is best known for his atlas, Speculum Orbis Terrarum, which was published in 1578. He did part of the engraving himself, and his brothers, Jan and Lucas van Doetecum, did the rest. Gerard de Jode and Abraham Ortelius, both map sellers, were competitors and often had strained relations. After the death of Gerard de Jode in 1591, the business was carried on by his widow, Pascale van Gelder and his son, Cornelis (1568-1600). More a publisher than an engraver, the latter reissued the Speculum in 1593, adding new maps and revising others. Despite all its deficiencies, the Speculum must have had a good reputation.
