Series: Princeton Legacy Library

This 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 observers--Jews, 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 1995. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print 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.

Reviews for Jerusalem: The Holy City in the Eyes of Chroniclers, Visitors, Pilgrims, and Prophets from the Days of Abraham to the Beginnings of Modern Times

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 Journal
