One of Van Adrichem's most famous works is his map of the Pharan Desert. The map depicts the area of the Sinai Desert in Egypt, where the Israelites wandered for 40 years after their exodus from Egypt. The map is highly detailed and contains a wealth of information about various locations in the desert, such as Mount Sinai, the Dead Sea, and the Red Sea. It also includes a legend describing the different geographic features of the desert.

Van Adrichem's map of the Pharan Desert is an important document in the history of cartography. It is one of the earliest maps to show the area of the Sinai Desert in a detailed and accurate manner. The map is also significant in the history of Biblical studies as it provides a unique perspective on the locations where the events of the Bible took place.

Cristian van Adrichem (February 13, 1533 - June 20, 1585) was a Dutch theologian and cartographer. He was born in Adrichem, a village in the province of Utrecht. Van Adrichem studied theology at the University of Leiden and became a preacher in Utrecht in 1558. In 1568, he fled to Antwerp due to his Protestant beliefs.

In Antwerp, he worked as a cartographer and wrote several books about the Holy Land. In 1590, he published his most significant work, "Biblia Sacra cum Commentariis," an atlas featuring maps of the Holy Land. The atlas was well-received and translated into many countries. Van Adrichem passed away in Antwerp in 1585.
