The illustrated atlas of Jerusalem - Hardcover

Festive Jerusalem 3000 edition with Foreword by Ehud Olmert, Mayor of Jerusalem

Through the lavish use of maps, diagrams, reconstructions and color photographs, the historical and architectural development of the Holy City unfolds before the reader. Each major period in Jerusalem's 4,000-year history is dealt with at length and instructively, with information based on the latest archaeological findings and scientific research.

"This is the first truly historical atlas devoted specifically to the ancient and modern site of Jerusalem. Bahat, the official archaeologist for the city of Jerusalem, has written a scholarly introduction to this reference source, which covers over 3000 years of the geography, archaeology, architecture, history, and biblical study of the city. The detailed, informative text is based on recent findings and is well presented, with over 400 color maps, drawings, and illustrations. Highly recommended for larger public and academic libraries as well as for the biblical student or Middle East scholar."
