Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Jerusalem In the repairing or rebuilding of cities in ancient times there is no evidence that they were so far remodelled and enlarged as to be totally different from the original. At least some resemblance to the old remained. There may have been important changes, but, except in the rarest instances, the site was permanent. The opposite of this rule, however, we are asked to believe of Jerusalem; that in rebuilding it its old form and size were so entirely altered that they could never afterwards be recognized; that with one or two exceptions all traces of its public buildings, its castle and palaces, were obliterated; and that even the position and course of its walls were forgotten. In a word, that the nation which built one of the most famous cities of antiquity and occupied it continuously for several centuries, a nation that took no small pride in its own records and memorials, failed to remember where Jerusalem stood and the location of its castle, temple, palaces, and walls. Surely this is asking too much. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jerusalem: The City of Herod and Saladin There is nothing sacred about the actors in this long story we have to tell, and we have not thought it necessary to endeavour to invest them, as is generally done by those who write on Jerusalem, with an appearance Of sanctity, because they fought for the City of Sacred Memories, or because they bore the Cross upon their shoulders. We have, on the other hand, endeavoured to show them as they were, men and women actuated by mixed motives, sometimes base, sometimes noble, sometimes interested, sometimes pure and lofty: but always men and women, never saints. The Christians in the East were as the Christians in the West, certainly never better, more often worse. If we have succeeded in making a plain tale, divested Of its customary pseudoreligious trappings, interesting and useful, our design is satisfied.

Download or read book The Crusades Classic Histories Series written by Malcolm Billings and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1095 Pope Urban II granted absolution to anyone who would fight to reclaim the Holy Land. With God at their backs, the first Christian crusaders embarked on an unprecedented religious war. While addressing the contribution of flamboyant characters like Saladin and Richard the Lionheart, Malcolm Billings also looks at the experiences of the peasants, knights and fighting monks who took the cross for Christendom and the Holy Warriors of Islam who, after battle on battle, emerged victorious. He analyses the ebb and flow of crusade and counter-crusade and details the shifting structures of government in the Levant, which became the perennial battleground of East and West.
Download or read book The Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem written by C. R. Conder and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem: 1099 to 1291 A. D The sources on which we depend for history of the time of the great Crusades, and which have been used by Gibbon and Michaud, are well known and accessible. They include the Chronicles of Foucher of Chartres, who accompanied Robert of Normandy (1095 - 1124 A.D.), and of Raymond d'Agiles, who was also present at the conquest of Antioch, with that of Albert of Aix, and the great history of William, Archbishop of Tyre, which was begun in 1182 and closes in 1184. These I have read in the great collection of Bongar's Gesta Dei Per Francos (Handover, 1611), which also includes the important description of later events by Jacques de Vitry, Bishop of Acre, written about 1220 A.D. The Moslem accounts include Boha ed Din's life of his master Saladin about 1200 A.D., and the later works of Kemal ed Din, Mejr ed Din, Abu el Feda, and Makrizi, with El Edrizi's geography about 1150 A.D.

Download or read book A History of the Hebrew People written by Charles Foster Kent and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Hebrew People: From the Division of the Kingdom to the Fall of Jerusalem in 586 B. C While the determination to limit the present volume to the length prescribed by the wants of the busy reader has been persistently adhered to, the aim has been so to introduce him to the character, work, and essential teachings of each of the prophets that he may find in their recorded words that reality and meaning which are impossible without a clear understanding of their historical background. A detailed critical analysis of the different prophet ical books, which are the main historical sources for the various periods, has not been attempted, since the sections whose date and authorship are in question fortunately do not contain data of sufficient importance to modify materially our conception of the history; and therefore such a treatment would be aside from the purpose of the present work, which deals primarily with the life of the Hebrew people in its political, social, and religious aspects rather than with their literary products.
