Jerusalem Explored, Volume 1—Text / Being a Description of the Ancient and Modern City, with Numerous Illustrations Consisting of Views, Ground Plans and Sections

An extended archaeological and topographical study based on prolonged on-site excavation and observation. The author reconstructs the city's ancient layout and landmarks by combining fieldwork with biblical texts, rabbinical traditions, and Josephus, offering detailed descriptions and ground plans of Mount Moriah, the Church of the Resurrection, the Via Dolorosa, and surrounding hills, valleys, tombs, cisterns, and ritual sites. Chapters record methods and findings, examine walls and defensive works, survey convents and cemeteries, discuss water sources and their quality, and assess competing identifications of monuments, all accompanied by illustrations, measured plans, and sections to clarify the ancient and modern topography.
