Download or read book The Ruins of Palmyra and Baalbek written by Robert Wood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in the 1750s, The Ruins of Palmyra and The Ruins of Baalbek are a remarkable record of an expedition to the Levant by three antiquarians - Robert Wood, John Bouverie and James Dawkins - along with a draftsman, Giovanni Battista Borra. With over 100 engravings of the classical architecture of the two ancient cities of Palmyra and Baalbek, the volumes represent the earliest-known examples of monographs on archaeological sites. They were unique in providing systematic discussion of the sites' physical and human geography alongside two kinds of pictorial evidence: views of the ancient sites in their then-present state and detailed plans, with measurements, of architectural features. This new approach was immediately copied by antiquarians in the later 18th century and also had great influence upon Neoclassical architecture in Britain, Europe and North America. This new edition features reproductions of all the engravings from the original publications and includes a new introduction by noted scholar, Benjamin Anderson (Cornell University, USA).

The history of Damascus, if written with that fulness which its importance demands, would fill a volume. This is a task I do not attempt. A brief sketch of the leading events is all I aim at. Such as have wandered with me among its remains of former grandeur may wish to know something of the men who erected them. To these I dedicate the following pages. The first notice of the city in the Bible is in Genesis, where we read that Abraham, having overcome the kings who had pillaged Sodom, "pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus." The countries peopled by the descendants of Shem are not so clearly defined as those possessed by their brethren. We read, however, that Aram was a son of Shem; and it is well known that the name of the kingdom of which Damascus was the capital was Aram. The region called by this...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five Years in Damascus: With Travels and Researches in Palmyra, Lebanon, the Giant Cities of Bashan, and the Hauran IN preparing a New Edition of this Work I have not thought it necessary to retain minute topographical details. These have already served the purpose for which they were origin ally written - to rectify the map of that section of Eastern Syria embraced in my travels. I have also omitted the Greek and other inscriptions, as they are of little importance to the general reader, and the scholar may now obtain access to them in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Litera ture, ' where they have been published, with a valuable com mentary by John Hogg, Esq., F. R.s. While I have thoroughly revised the whole work, care fully re-examined every point connected with geography and antiquities embraced in it, and considered with respectful attention the critiques with which numerous reviewers and correspondents have favoured me, I have not seen my way to change a single statement, or modify a single opinion.
