The "Map of the City of Jerusalem" from the "Peregrinatio in Terram Sanctam" is a significant cartographic and artistic work created by Bernhard von Breydenbach and illustrated by Erhard Reuwich in 1486. This map is part of a larger travelogue that documents Breydenbach's pilgrimage to the Holy Land, a journey undertaken between 1483 and 1484. The "Peregrinatio in Terram Sanctam" is notable for being one of the earliest printed travel books and is distinguished by its detailed woodcut illustrations, which were revolutionary for their time.

Erhard Reuwich, a Dutch artist and printer, was responsible for the intricate and highly detailed illustrations in the book. His work on the map of Jerusalem is particularly remarkable for its accuracy and artistic quality. The map provides a bird's-eye view of the city, showcasing its significant religious and historical landmarks. It includes depictions of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Dome of the Rock, and various other notable structures, offering a comprehensive visual representation of Jerusalem as it was perceived in the late 15th century.

The "Peregrinatio in Terram Sanctam" was printed in Mainz, Germany, and quickly became a popular and influential work. It served not only as a guide for future pilgrims but also as an important source of information for Europeans curious about the Holy Land. The map of Jerusalem within this work is a testament to the blend of medieval cartographic traditions and the burgeoning Renaissance interest in accurate, detailed representation.

The collaboration between Breydenbach and Reuwich resulted in a pioneering work that combined travel literature with visual art, setting a precedent for future publications. The map of Jerusalem remains a valuable historical document, providing insights into the geographical and cultural perceptions of the Holy Land during the late Middle Ages.
