Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictorial Journey Through the Holy Land, or Scenes in Palestine It is from Edoln's rock-hewn capital that the frontier of J udea is approached. A deep mountain basin is strewed with Petra's ruins, is hemmed around by a perpendicular wall of cliffs, whose precipices are sculptured for the facades and excavated for the chambers, which served the indwellers of this nest in the rock for habitations during life, for temples in which to worship, and for tombs where all that was mortal of them at last was laid. The descent north wards is through a series of ravines that often are mere rifts in the mountain channels by which the waters of winter's storms rush down to the plain. One great valley, beginning almost as far north as Mount Hermon, runs from north to south through Southern Syria, and continues its course still further to the southward. Its upper portion is the valley of the Jordan, commonly called by Arabs El Ghor. By most of the Arabian geographers this name is applied to the valley of the Jordan exclusively; but one of them, Abulfelda, says that the Ghor extends continuously to the Red Sea from the Lake of Tiberias. The ancient geographers are silent as to the prolongation of the great valley from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea. The central portion of the valley is occupied by the Dead Sea in its greatest length, and by a small tract at its southern extremity, which is the Valley of Salt of the Scriptures, reaching up to some declivities that are probably those called in the Bible the ascent of Akrabbim. From these cliffs the great plain to which the name El Arabah is given by the Arabs, and which was wholly unknown to the last generation of travellers, commences, and continues uninterruptedly to tlie site of ancient Elath, at the head of the Gulf of Akabah on the Red Sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy Land has captures the attention of mankind since the very beginning of human civilization, and even more so from the early days of Christianity. Nineteenth-century Palestine fired the imagination of the Western world. Improved travel facilities and greater political stability in the Near Easst brought ever-increasing numbers of visitors to the Holy Land, affecting the quantity and quality of the pictorial depictions of its sites and scenes. Like other countries in the exotic Muslim East, Palestine also became a point of focal interest for painters of the Orientalist school. The author has assembled a fascinating collection of unique works of art, executed in the diverse styles of nineteenth-century painting. Around these reproductions, many of them in colour, he reconstructs the story of the artists who produced them, who came from many European countries and from North America. The result is an important and unique perspective on the sites, persons, events and customs of the Holy Land in that century.

This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traveling in the Holy Land Through the Stereoscope It is the recognition of these two great facts that has determined the nature of this book. If stereographs are life-size spaces of three dimensions to the eyes, they Should be recognized as such and used as such. And if they may be to a greater or less degree, according as we use them, the realities to us, then they should be treated so as to make them realities as far as possible. And it seems the more we treat them as places, as Palestine itself, the more they become the same to us. Accordingly in the following pages are given such maps and information as will make this small volume serve the purpose of a guide-book, and at the same time, as I said at the beginning, I have tried to serve in it as a personal guide, saying everything in such a way as to constantly help and lead us to make this tour, to visit these stereographed scenes, as a tourist visits the actual scenes in Palestine. It will be found that on this stereoscopic tour one is carried to all the more important places in Palestine, and in the same order that a tourist might visit them; and in the more important sections the stereographed scenes are so connected that you may move from one position to another in such a way as to really make it a continuous journey. I urge upon all who have not actually visited Palestine, to give the closest attention to the maps and the descriptions, with the purpose of always keeping their bearings as they move from one place to another. Finally, we have Space for only a word on the impor tance of the land of Palestine, why we need to know it intimately, why we should stand in the very presence of its hills and valleys.
