Description
Where has God settled Paradise? Kaltemarckt, Gabriel. Paradiswasser, This is a description of the four waters, Pison, Gihon, Hidekel, and Phrath, which are cut off from a strait in Eden (where the garden is spread there). 12 Bl., 235 S. With pretty woodcut title border, title print in red and black and folded copper map. 19 x 158 cm. Parchment d. C. (somewhat wavy, joints only minimally brittle, few flaws in the reference, stained). Leipzig, (Michael Lantzenberger for) Henning Grossen, 1605. VD17 39:128861R. Jöcher-Adelung III, 67. – First edition, a second one was to be published in 1616 (in the case of Jöscher-Agelung wrongly "1618"). "Paradiswasser" is a theological-geographical work from 1605, written by the Austrian scholar Gabriel Kaltemarckt. In essence, the book deals with the localization and interpretation of the Bible's garden of Eden by means of the four streams of Paradise in the 1st century C.E. Book of Moses Genesis. The multi-folded "Tabula chorographica continuos quatuor flumina Pison, Gihon, Hidekel et Eden, in qua terrenum paradisum plantavit deus" shows the streamland between Euphrates and Tigris, in which God allegedly settled the Paradis. – A little tanned, little flecky, edges brittle and with few marginal outbursts (without loss of text), the map with cracks and cracks, as well as Wear marks, block a little untied.
