Extr. rare, apparently not present in Belgium
, copper engraving showing in detail the Temple at
Jerusalem “according to old descriptions by Arias Montanus”. The mention “Ad apparatus sacri
instructionem” seems to imply that the broadside was primarily intended to give supplementary
(visual) information to the description (and the accompanying illustrations) as given in the
“Apparatus” of the Polyglot Bible (more esp. vol. 8) (Voet). The printed text gives the key to the
engraving with underneath: “Antverpiae, excudebat Christophorus Plantinus, M.D.LXXVIII”.
