Guide for Pilgrims in the Holy Land (028.00.00)

See Silverlight version of this item » About this item        

A sort of “Baedeker,” or travel guide, for pilgrims in the Holy Land seeking the graves of biblical patriarchs and venerated rabbinic leaders, this book contains a mixture of advice, prayers, and tales of wonder-working rabbis. It also has three woodcut illustrations: one of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, one of the famous walls of Jericho (before they tumbled down), and the one opened here to the ancient Temple in Jerusalem.
