This volume is the first full-length scholarly study ever to be published about Islamic steam baths in Palestine. It contains photographs and plans of all the important remaining Medieval and Ottoman hammams in the area and provides a wealth of historical evidence on this traditional form of
Islamic architecture.

Review

"Martin Dow's survey is a great service both to the study of traditional baths and for the recording of the heritage of Palestine....the fine introductory histories of the cities housing the baths, give[s] one the impression of a continuous cultural history of Palestine from the pre-Islamic era to
the 1980s."--American Journal of Archaeology

"[A] masterful study."--Choice
