Arculf Map of Jerusalem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Arculf Map of Jerusalem is an ancient ground plan map of the city of Jerusalem which was published in manuscripts of the first book of De Locis Sanctis by Arculf via Adomnán, dated to 680 CE.[1] Not all the known manuscripts of the text include the maps and plans.[2] The earliest known manuscript showing the map dates from the ninth century, two centuries after Arculf's journey.[2]
It was the oldest known map of Jerusalem prior to the discovery of the Madaba Map.[3]
