Ancient Jerusalem (1799)

Ancient Jerusalem is a historical and archaeological account of the ancient city of Jerusalem, written by John Kitto and first published in 1799. The book covers the history of the city from its earliest known settlement through to the Roman period, with a particular focus on the religious and cultural significance of Jerusalem in the ancient world. Kitto draws on a range of sources, including the Bible, classical literature, and archaeological discoveries, to provide a vivid and detailed picture of life in Jerusalem over the centuries. The book includes descriptions of key sites and landmarks, such as the Temple Mount, the Western Wall, and the City of David, as well as discussions of the city’s political and social history. Ancient Jerusalem is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Middle East, the history of Judaism and Christianity, or the archaeology of ancient cities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
