An attractive study of the many different ways in which Jerusalem was represented in maps produced between the 6th and 19th centuries. Rubin's selection of maps illustrates the contrasting traditions and approaches of cartographers and shows how art, craft and science were routinely blended together to create maps which placed the city within a landscape that was both geographically and spatially defined. A mixture of artistic sketches and accurate surveys reflects the different means of communicating information.
