"Palaestina in XII Tribus divisa cum Terris Adiacentibus," is a map published by the Homann Heirs cartographic publishing company in 1750. The map depicts the historical region of Palestine divided into the twelve tribes of Israel, as described in the Bible, along with the surrounding territories.

The Homann Heirs were a prominent German family of cartographers who were active during the 17th and 18th centuries. They produced numerous maps and atlases that were highly regarded for their accuracy and detail. The map you mentioned reflects their interest in biblical geography and the historical divisions of the land.

"Palaestina" refers to the Latin name for the region known as Palestine, which encompassed the area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The map shows Palestine divided into twelve tribal territories based on the biblical accounts found in the Old Testament. These twelve tribes were the descendants of the sons of Jacob, who became the patriarch of the Israelite people.

The map also includes adjacent territories that were part of the historical context of Palestine, such as the regions of Phoenicia, Philistia, and Moab. These areas had significant interactions with the Israelites throughout their history.

Maps like this were not only used for geographic reference but also served religious and historical purposes, reflecting the interest in biblical narratives during that period. They provided a visual representation of the biblical accounts and helped to contextualize the land and its historical divisions.

Today, the Homann Heirs' maps are considered valuable historical artifacts, providing insights into the cartographic knowledge and cultural perspectives of the time. They are sought after by collectors, researchers, and enthusiasts interested in the history of cartography and biblical geography.
