At the right is a modern view of the city as it appeared in the 16th century. Each is accompanied by legends listing important structures and places that are keyed to the plans. In the lower right is a vignette of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments along with Aaron, whose vestments are listed in the table to the right.; These views of Jerusalem and other cities first appeared in v. 1 of "Civitates orbis terrarum", a work of over 500 city views issued in Cologne from 1572-1618 by Braun & Hogenberg.
