Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the author's observations on journeys through remote parts of the Levant, from Damascus east to the Dead Sea and the Jordan River. The author, a physician, focused on the Roman and Greek ruins found throughout the region, describing and documenting their preservation and decay. This book includes the author's detailed, first-hand account of an 1806 journey along the east bank of the Jordan River, the first such account in this region during the 19th century. His detailed descriptions include Bedouin tribes encountered, the local topography, and archaeological ruins found along the way, such as the ancient city of Gerasa and the ruins of Amman and Dibon. The book also provides valuable geographic and historical context on locations mentioned in the Hebrew Bible.
