Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprint of 1850 first edition, published by A. Hart in Philadelphia. Brown cloth binding, gold titles. Limited edition. 519 pp. 25 illustrations, including a large fold-out geographical map of Palestine. Fierce contention over the land of Palestine is not news. Fought over millennia by religious, tribal and national factions - Jews, Muslims, Christians, Assyrians, Romans, Persians, Romans, Turks and currently the Israelis and the Palestinians - the rights to Palestine, now Israel and the "West Bank", remain a burning issue. The answer to 'who owns the land' lies in a volatile mix of politics, history and religion. The Descriptive Geography of Palestine, by Rabbi Joseph Schwarz (1805-1865), a German Jew and Zionist, while written from the Jewish perspective, utilizes a wide variety of ancient sources not commonly available, and thus provides added perspective for this ongoing, bloody debate. Prior to the Rabbi's work, descriptions of Palestine familiar to the West had been written by Christian travelers, who did not have the linguistic ability to compare and utilize the record of the Hebrew Scriptures and other ancient works. "For instance, " Rabbi Schwarz writes, "no one could hitherto indicate where to look for the Mount Hor, in Northern Palestine; Riblah, Kadesh-Barne?, Azmon, Katath, Nahallal, Shimron, Rakkath, &c.; since all the learned were unacquainted with the circumstance, that all these names were changed at a later period, as we see mentioned in Talmud Yerushalmi, and since the names into which they were changed are existing to this day. In this way, therefore, being able to draw from the source indicated, I have been permitted to discover nearly a hundred names which had hitherto remained unknown."The Descriptive Geography of Palestine is both geography of Palestine and a commentary on the relevant geographic passages in the Hebrew Scriptures, the entire Bible canon, Roman literature, and Arabic and Persian sources. It covers the boundaries of Palestine; an explanation of the seas, rivers, mountains, and valleys of Palestine; division of Palestine according to the twelve tribes; Palestine beyond Jordan; Jerusalem; animals, vegetables and minerals of Palestine; climate; and contains a short history of Palestine to 1850. "An uncommon degree of interest has been excited in modern times towards Palestine, to an extent scarcely ever before attained. It issues forth, as it were, out of its devastation of more than eighteen centuries standing; and people seek to reanimate it through their investigations and discoveries. The learned contend for the prize of contributing the most to its elucidation by discovering and tracing out the vestiges of antiquity which it offers; and it is therefore constantly visited and travelled over by the well-informed of all nations. How much more ardently, then, must the erudite man belonging to the house of Israel feel on the subject! For should not Israel march in the advance, and serve in this matter as an example to other nations? or shall it, to whose ancestor God said (Gen. 13. 15), "For the whole land which thou seest I will give unto thee and thy seed for ever," receive an account of its possessions-for its property the land remains, long as the time may be that its claim is not acknowledged, and its rights usurped by the hand of power from the mouth of others?"Who shall inherit Palestine, the Land of Israel?

Download or read book The History of Galilee, 1538–1949 written by M. M. Silver and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of Galilee in modern times reaches back to the region's Biblical roots and points to future challenges in the Arab-Jewish conflict, Israel's development, and inter-faith relations. This volume covers an array of subjects, including Kabbalah, the rise of Palestinian nationalism, modern Christian approaches to Galilee's past and present, Zionist pioneering, the roots of the Arab-Jewish dispute, and the conflict's eruption in Galilee in 1948. The book shows how the modernization of Galilee intertwined with mystical belief and practice, developing in its own grassroots way among Palestinians, Orthodox Jews, Christians, and Druze, rather than being a byproduct of Western intervention. In doing so, The History of Galilee, 1538–1949: Mysticism, Modernization, and War offers fresh, challenging perspectives for scholars in the history of religion, military history, theology, world politics, middle eastern studies, and other disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents and discusses a large corpus of Jewish maps of the Holy Land that were drawn by Jewish scholars from the 11th to the 20th century, and thus fills a significant lacuna both in the history of cartography and in Jewish studies. The maps depict the biblical borders of the Holy Land, the allotments of the tribes, and the forty years of wanderings in the desert. Most of these maps are in Hebrew although there are several in Yiddish, Ladino and in European languages. The book focuses on four aspects: it presents an up-to-date corpus of known maps of various types and genres; it suggests a classification of these maps according to their source, shape and content; it presents and analyses the main topics that were depicted in the maps; and it puts the maps in their historical and cultural contexts, both within the Jewish world and the sphere of European cartography of their time. The book is an innovative contribution to the fields of history of cartography and Jewish studies. It is written for both professional readers and the general public. The Hebrew edition (2014), won the Izhak Ben-Zvi Prize.
