Willem Albert Bachiene 1712-1783 Dutch clergyman later a professor of geography and astronomy at the Illustere School Maastricht. Well known cartographer. The 3-volume "Heilige geographie of aardrijkskundige beschryving van het Joodsche land alsmede andere landen in de H. Schrift voorkomende" is considered among his most important works. It was published in Utrecht between 1763-1768 and included a suite of 12 fine geographical maps of the Holy Land and its neighbouring lands which Bachiene made during a period of ten years the first in as early as 1758. The map offered herewith is taken from this suite. Other important cartographic works of the Holy Land by Bachiene were included in the so-called "Jehovah Bible" i.e. "De Gansche H. Schrift Vervattende alle de regelmatige Boeken des Ouden en Nieuwen Testaments . Gods Gedenk-Naam Jehovah onvertaald gehouden" published in 1762 by N. Goetzee of Gorinchem shortly before the present map first appeared in book form. Whereas other single-sheet maps by Bachiene are in relative abundance the works from "Heilige geographie of aardrijkskundige beschryving van het Joodsche land" are very scarce seldom found in any state practically unavailable in their original uncoloured state.
