"Map of the City of Jerusalem" is a notable incunabulum woodcut created by Erhard Reuwich for the travelogue "Peregrinatio in Terram Sanctam" (A Pilgrimage to the Holy Land) by Bernhard von Breydenbach, a German canon of Mainz Cathedral. The work, published in 1486, is significant as it is one of the earliest printed views of the city of Jerusalem and is considered an important piece of early cartographic printing. Reuwich, who is credited as the artist and printer, accompanied Breydenbach on his pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1483-84, which provided him with the firsthand experience that informed his work.

The map is a large, detailed woodcut panorama of Jerusalem as it appeared in the late 15th century. It is oriented with the east at the top, following the medieval tradition, and it depicts many of the city's landmarks, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Dome of the Rock, and the city walls. The map is also annotated with the names of various gates, towers, and other significant features in Latin, serving as a guide for pilgrims and other readers of the time.

"Peregrinatio in Terram Sanctam" was an influential travelogue that provided one of the earliest and most detailed accounts of a journey to the Holy Land, and the inclusion of Reuwich's woodcuts made it a bestseller of its time. The "Map of the City of Jerusalem" stands out as a particularly important contribution to the history of cartography and book illustration, offering a unique glimpse into the medieval perception of the city. Its historical and artistic value has been recognized by scholars and collectors alike, making it an enduring subject of study in the fields of art history, cartography, and medieval studies.
