Museographs: The Old City of Jerusalem a Cultural Crossroad

Jerusalem holds a transformative power for Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike, being a pivotal site in the spiritual and historical narratives of these great monotheistic faiths. Spanning over five millennia, its rich history is explored in "The Old City of Jerusalem." This detailed survey takes readers from the Canaanite Period through to the Ottoman Empire's reign in 1917, exploring key epochs including the Jewish nation's establishment, Hellenistic conquests, Roman, Byzantine, and Crusader periods, among others. With stunning color plates of period objects, the book offers a profound journey through Jerusalem's past.

Just uttering the word Jerusalem results in an automatic change in the state of mind for Jews, Christians and Muslims. Their individual and collective history in this city—a holy place for all three of the great monotheistic faiths—has covered over three thousand years but Jerusalem's history extends two millennia farther in the sands of time.

The Old City of Jerusalem surveys the City of Peace and her inhabitants from the Canaanite Period through the Ottoman Empire in 1917. You will travel from the Pre-Davidic period with stops during the establishment of the Jewish nation, the conquest of Hellenism, the Hasmoneans, Jerusalem as a Roman outpost, the extravagance of the Byzantine period, the capture of the City during the First Muslim period, the Crusader period and once again to Muslim rule. The monograph includes beautiful color plates picturing objects from the various periods.
