The aim of the survey on which this book is based was to make a record of all buildings constructed in Palestine during the medieval and Ottoman periods. The survey area covers the modern state of Israel excluding West Jerusalem and Ramla (which are covered in separate publications). The West Bank and Gaza will be the subject of Volume II.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
This well-researched and highly readable book is an impressive tribute to the work of the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem. Odyssey In addition to being an excellent record of the fast depleting and disintegrating urban and architectural heritage of this region, the Gazetteer will be of immense value to scholars and researchers engaged in this field.
