This remarkable work, edited by the Geography Dept. of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and published by Walter de Gruyter, Berlin shows the development and expansion of Jerusalem from its beginnings around 3000 BC until 1973. The main focus is on the 1960s. The Holy City is depicted on 53 large folding colour maps (each 65.5 x 48 cm). Maps and legend are bi-lingual (English and Hebrew), the accompanying text volume (173 pp) is in English. Both are stored in a cloth covered wooden box (53 x 37 x 4.5 cm). The Atlas of Jerusalem has additional political relevance as the work was completed before 1973. - Description by Gerlach Books.
