IN HEBREW. RARE comprehensive index of Biblical and early 20th century Palestine regions and settlements. Each location is given by its contemporary Arab name, its ancient Hebrew (Biblical or Talmudic) name when one is available, and in its modern Hebrew name, providing it was colonized at the time. For each location, short geographical and historical information is also provided, along with references to the appropriate ancient sources. Appended to this book are a list of Biblical sites whose location in modern Palestine was not yet determined, and a list of Roman and Greek names (in Latin letters) for sites, which differ considerably from the Hebrew and Arabic names. The wealth of information contained within this book was gathered and compiled by Eliahu Sappir (1869-1911), one of the prominent figures of the first Aliyah, an educator and a geographer. 250x180mm. XXIV+163 pages. Hardcover with gilt lettering. Cover and spine worn and stained. Cover corners and spine edges bumped and peeling. Cover edges peeling. Spine hinges partly cracked. Inner cover, text block edges and some pages age-stained. Pages browning. [SUMMARY]: Save for the aforementioned wear, this invaluable research aid for anyone interested in the ancient and modern history of the Holy Land, is in good condition.
