Abstract
Among the many cities depicted in the Civitates Orbis Terrarum by George Braun and Franz Hogenberg (Cologne, Vol. I-VI, 1572–1617), the city of Jerusalem was given a special status having been depicted in three different maps, each of them located in a different volume. None of these maps was drawn originally by Braun and Hogenberg, but all three of them were copies of maps printed earlier by other mapmakers. This paper describes these three different maps of Jerusalem, draws the distinction between realistic and imaginary information presented in them, and traces their sources through textual and graphic evidence.
