Jerusalem, Illustrated History Atlas
In this Atlas, I trace the history of Jerusalem from biblical times to the present day.
Each map is illustrated by a facing page of prints or photographs. The sixty-six maps,
taken together, are intended to provide a broad survey of Jerusalem's history, with
special emphasis on the City's development during the last hundred and f i f ty years,
when it grew from a remote and impoverished provincial town of the Ottoman Empire,
with a population of less than 40,000, to a capital city with a population of more than 360,000.
In the bibliography, beginning on page 124, I have listed those maps, atlases, guide books,
travellers' tales and historical works which I consulted while preparing the maps, and on which
I drew for the contemporary material which they contained for each decade of the city's history.
