Sapir, Eliahu
Ha-Aretz [IN HEBREW] [NO ENGLISH TITLE PAGE]
IN HEBREW. RARE comprehensive index of Biblical and early 20th century Palestine regions and settlements. Each location is given by its contemporary Arab name, its ancient Hebrew (Biblical or Talmudic) name when one is available, and in its modern Hebrew name, providing it was colonized at the time. For each location, short geographical and historical information is also provided, along with references to the appropriate ancient sources. Appended to this book are a list of Biblical sites whose location in modern Palestine was not yet determined, and a list of Roman and Greek names (in Latin letters) for sites, which differ considerably from the Hebrew and Arabic names. The wealth of information contained within this book was gathered and compiled by Eliahu Sappir (1869-1911), one of the prominent figures of the first Aliyah, an educator and a geographer. 235x180mm. XXIV+163 pages. Quarter-cloth black rebound Hardcover. Cover and spine worn and stained. Cover corners and edges bumped and peeling. Spine edges and hinges bumped, tattered and glued. Sticker residue on spine front hinge. Front whitepage torn-out/missing. Rear whitepage and last page upper corner wrinkled. Rear whitepage slightly age-stained. Title page slightly age-stained and partly missing - left bottom corner torn-out. Previous owner's name written in ink on title page upper edge/corner.

Binding slightly visible between some pages. Page 1/2 fore edge torn. Several pages have tattered edge - NO damage to text. Pages browning. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare book, an invaluable research aid for anyone interested in the ancient and modern history of the Holy Land, has sustained some damage, but is overall in good reading condition.
