Eran Laor Cartographic Collection (JNUL)

Holy Land Maps is a digitized collection of 1100 rare and original maps (15th - 21st century)

The Holy Land has been the subject of a relatively large number of maps, chiefly due to its religious importance. Some of the earliest maps reflected ancient traditions of mapping such as that of Ptolemy; others were meant to illustrate the Holy Scriptures. Some maps were printed separately; while others were published as part of atlases, itineraries and travel books. Owners who could afford the expense added coloring to  their maps.

Many maps of the Holy Land are oriented to the east (orient=from the Latin word for east), reflecting the view point of European mapmakers looking in the direction of the Holy Land. However, there are a few maps oriented to the south, and to the west and naturally to the north. Many Biblical elements from the Old and New Testament can be traced in the maps, such as the route of the Exodus, the Tabernacle, the division of the Land among the Tribes, Moses and Aaron, the travels of Jesus and the Apostles, and others. Toward the end of the 18th century a new genre of maps emerged, characterized by the diminished use of pictorial elements. These were replaced by symbols such as letters and numbers, for example to mark the Tribes. The legends appear in the margins.

The introduction of surveying at the beginning of the 19th century brought about a significant change in the mapping of the Holy Land. Maps by Jacotin, a cartographer who accompanied Napoleon on his journey to Egypt and Palestine, were the first to be based upon scientific measurements. Later researchers such as Robinson, Kiepert and Van de Velde produced scientific maps, and in 1880, the Palestine Exploration Fund produced more accurate maps, thereby firmly establishing the basis of scientific Holy Land research.-- About page of website

This beautiful collection of ancient maps of the Holy Land is part of a much larger collection that includes ancient maps of the world, early printed atlases and travel books. The entire extraordinary collection was donated by its renowned owner, Eran Laor in 1975 to the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem. The late Mr. Laor is the author of: Maps of the Holy Land, New York, 1986

Jewish National and University Library = National Library of Israel

Last winter I read an article in Haaretz (English ed.) that reported on the Rothschild Foundation coming to the rescue of the JNUL with financial support for the building of a new library - pending Knesset approval. Here is the article.

New Chapter in a Sad Saga by Aryeh Dayan (2/11/20007)

"It [Rothschild Foundation] would pay all planning and construction costs, and install all furnishings and equipment needed for operating one of the world's most technologically advanced libraries - but its role would end when the library opened. The state and the university would then have to find resources for the upkeep of the fancy building and operation of its cutting-edge technologies." -- excerpt

JNUL becomes National Library of Israel

The National Library of Israel will become financially independent from Hebrew University within three years, able to raise funds on its own. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

"On November 26th, 2007 the Knesset passed the National Library Law which set up the legal framework for changing the Jewish National and University Library from a department of the Hebrew University into the National Library of Israel.

Yesterday, (July 23, 2008) the president of the Hebrew University convened the first meeting of the directorate of the new library and officially changed the Library's status..."   email excerpt
