Image description: The map at the bottom half of the page represents Mount Sinai and Mount Lebanon in beige, and rivers and lakes in green. On the right-hand side, the map depicts the monastery of Saint Catherine, represented as a building with a bell tower, and Jerusalem underneath, represented as crenellated walls enclosing buildings, including the Dome of the Rock. On the left-hand side, the map represents Domasco as crenellated walls with two sighting towers. Two streams depart from the left of Mount Lebanon and are inscribed in the image. On the very right-hand side, the map depicts the Red Sea. The coast from Lebanon to Egypt appears at the very bottom in white and the Mediterranean Sea in green. Distances between the inscribed cities that punctuate these lands are indicated and follow the text of the stanzas.
