| Abstract

:
|
<p>This paper investigates the reasons for the unexpected importance acquired by the <em>Qubbat al-Ṣaḫrah</em> in Crusader Jerusalem and its relationship to the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher. It will be argued that Crusader pilgrims regarded the <em>Qubbat al-Ṣaḫrah</em> as the eschatological Temple or Solomon’s Temple because of their knowledge of the Scriptures and local Jewish and Islamic traditions regarding the Temple Mount/<em>ḥaram al-šarīf</em>. Consequently, the Crusader rulers’ adaptation of the <em>Qubbat al-Ṣaḫrah</em> as the church of the <em>Templum Domini</em> and its identification as Herod’s Temple will be explained as a reaction to these interpretations, which risked re-establishing the pre-Christian centrality of the Temple, thus jeopardizing the supremacy of the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher.</p>
