Review'A worthy tribute to a city that very few people can visit, or can ever have visited for hundreds or thousands of years past, without profound excitement and emotional turmoil.'Michael Grant, The New York Times Book Review'Many hours of moving, sometimes beautiful, often disturbing reading.'Merle Rubin, The Christian Science Monitor'This book is full of interest and value for all who love the Holy City. Between the covers of no other single book about Jerusalem is this wealth of material to be found.'Ronald Brownrigg, The Middle East JournalProduct DescriptionThis remarkable portrayal of Jerusalem has become a favorite of many readers interested in this city's dramatic past. Through a collection of firsthand accounts, we see Jerusalem as it appeared through the centuries to a fascinating variety of observersJews, Christians, Muslims, and secularists, from pilgrim to warrior to merchant. F. E. Peters skillfully unites these moving eyewitness statements in an immensely readable narrative commentary.Originally published in 1985.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest printondemand technology to again make available previously outofprint books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.From Library JournalPeters manages to tell the history of Jerusalem, which is holy to Jews, Christians, and Moslems alike, with remarkable objectivity. He accomplishes this by a judicious selection of eyewitness accounts from the many who have been affected by, or have themselves affected, the destiny of Jerusalem, as well as by generous quotations from the Bible. The book focuses on the historical events that shaped the city and gives especially valuable insights into the major religious sites within Jerusalem. Although critical commentary is sparse, the comprehensiveness and clarity of the sources make for a lucid narrative. This history ends about 1838, just when Martin Gilbert's Jerusalem: rebirth of a city (LJ 8/85) begins. Herbert E.
