Moses Wilhelm Shapira, Hermann Weser and the Moab Expedition
The appearance and disappearance of Birket El-Kamar, Jaffa, Israel
The harbor of Jaffa is one of the oldest in the land of Israel and was a significant entry from the sea for the last 4000 years, from the Middle Bronze Age to the twentieth century. Birket el-Kamar was a sandy bay in the coastal strip south of modern Jaffa harbor that had been part of the harbor during various past periods, but no longer exists. Its name, meaning ‘the Moon Pool’, occurs in historical archival documents, mainly maps, from the nine…

Berghaus’s Part of Arabia Petræa and Palestine Map (1839) and the Royal Geographical Society
This article presents the story of the map drawn by the German cartographer Heinrich Berghaus and his attempt to illustrate the pioneering route of the American scholar Edward Robinson and his companion Eli Smith through the western Negev desert. Berghaus sent the map to John Washington, the Secretary of the Royal Geographical Society and editor of its journal, to be published with Robinson’s report. The published map, however, added the routes o…
Dead Sea Level
In the nineteenth century The Dead Sea and the Tigris-Euphrates river system had great political significance: the one as a possible gateway for a Russian invasion of Egypt, the other as a potentially faster route to India. This is the traditional explanation for the presence of the international powers in the region. This important new book questions this view. Through a study of two important projects of the time - international efforts to dete…
Pioneering British exploration and scriptural geography
This paper relates to a unique pioneering British association established in London in 1805, for the ‘philosophical, physical and biblical’ study of Palestine/the Holy Land. The short-lived Syrian Society/Palestine Association (PA) adopted the model of the African Association, founded by Sir Joseph Banks in 1788 for the promotion of travel and discovery in Africa. The PA was a predecessor of two important British scholarly societies: the Royal Ge…

Where are Bonaparte's siege cannon? An episode in the Egyptian campaign
During his expedition to the Holy Land in 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte needed to transport his heavy siege artillery for the siege of Acre. Over 200 years later, what happened to the guns remains an enigma. The heavy cannon (24-pounders) were transported from Egypt by sea. One shipment was captured by a British squadron commanded by Sidney Smith, and used in Acre's defence against the French army. The other cannon were safely disembarked, and were us…
Pilgrimage, tapestries, and cartography
Sacred, but not surveyed
Nineteenth‐century Palestine mapping projects based on systematic land surveying reached a peak with the Ordnance Survey of Western Palestine between 1871 and 1877, conducted on behalf of the Palestine Exploration Fund by officers of the British Royal Engineering Corps. Various other nineteenth‐century proposals for an organized survey of the country—some of which bore partial results while others were never implemented—are also presented. The su…

Conrad Schick's Models of Jerusalem and its Monuments
Apres une note d'introduction sur les explorations menees par le resident allemand Conrad Schick (1922-1901) a Jerusalem, l'auteur propose une etude des nombreuses maquettes de la ville et des ses monuments, anciens ou contemporains, realisees par cet erudit
An Imaginary European Concept of Jerusalem in a Late Sixteenth-Century Model
