Summary

Description

English: The map of the Holy Land by Marino Sanudo (drawn in 1320)
Map orientation: north pointing left

Latin text at bottom:[1]

A: Tota terra a monte Libano per latus occidentale Jordanis vsque Capharnaum et inde per Saphet et Kabul et Toronum redeundo ad Libanum vocatur Yturea et Galilea superior et Galilea gentium et terra Kabul et terra Rob et saltus Libani et fuit pro magna parte de regione Decapoleos

B: Tota terra a Tyberiade per Betsan et montem Effraym vsque Magedo et inde per capud Carmeli et montem Tabor et Betuliam vsque in Tyberiadem redeundo vocatur campus magnus Esdrelon vel campus Fabe, siue Magedo, vel Galilea inferior et planicies Galilee

C: Tota terra a Cesarea Palestine vsque Joppen et inde transeundo per Tampnacsare et redeundo per Caco vsque Cesaream dicitur mons Effraym, licet sit terra campestris, et Saron, de quo dicitur Ysai. Factus est Saron sicut desertum, et est terra fertilis valde et pinguis habens villas multas et loca nemorosa et maxime circa Arsur suntque ibi leones multi et venationes regie

E: Desertum Cades, vnde miserant filii Israel exploratores , qui post XL dies huc redierunt et murmurante populo jussi sunt redire in desertum per viam maris rubri et post XXX annos redierunt ad locum istum, vnde moventes castra contra orientem circuierunt montem Seyr et terram Amon et capta terra Seon, regis Osebon, et Og, regis Basan, venerunt ad Jordanem contra Jerico

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:

	This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer. You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
	This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.

Public domain	This media file is in the public domain in the United States. This applies to U.S. works where the copyright has expired, often because its first publication occurred prior to January 1, 1930, and if not then due to lack of notice or renewal. See this page for further explanation.	United States
