SIMONIS, Johann (1698–1768). Onomasticum Veteris Testamenti. Halle: Impensis Orphanotrophei, 1741.

First edition, with "grape-vine" map of the Holy Land printed in Hebrew. One of few 18th-century maps of the Levant printed in Hebrew, the engraved frontispiece literalizes the text of Psalm 80:9–12: God plucking a vine from Egypt and planting it in the Holy Land where it takes root and grows across the land. The text is a linguistic study chiefly concerning proper names found in the Hebrew Bible. Laor 730; Wajntraub, Hebrew Maps of the Holy Land, p. 67.

Quarto (210 × 168mm). Engraved frontispiece grape-vine map of the Holy Land, title-page printed in black and red, few untrimmed leaves (repair to bottom margin of title-page, some foxing/browning, few marginal tears). Contemporary vellum, gilt title on spine (cracked along extremities and at hinge tops and bottoms, corners bumped, upper joints split).
