Best known for his celebrated Historical Geography of the Holy Land (1894), Smith provides here a more detailed and specialist analysis, based on first-hand knowledge derived from the visits he made to the region over the years. Spanning more than fourteen centuries of Jerusalem's history from 1400 BCE to 70 CE, these well-illustrated volumes remain a standard work of scholarship, expertly elucidating the changing shape of the city. Octavo, two volumes: xx, [2], 498, [2, ads] pp. + xvi, 631, [1, blank] pp. with 12 color maps and 15 plates (some folding). The contents page calls for a General Plan of Jerusalem "in the pocket" but there is no evidence of pocket or absence thereof in either volume. Original green cloth bindings, with gilt-stamped titles. Just a hint of wear to the corners and tips; else near fine. Seller Inventory # 78940
