Introduction : mapping the Holy Land -- Edward Robinson, Eli Smith and the cartography of Berghaus and Kiepert / Haim Goren -- The land and the map : C.W.M. van de Velde's Map of the Holy Land / Jutta Faehndrich -- August Petermann's Palestine maps / Bruno Schelhaas.

| Abstract
|
:
|
Through a detailed study of the work of three of the leading figures of the era--Augustus Petermann, Physical Geographer Royal to Queen Victoria; cartographer Charles Meredith van de Velde, who produced the finest map of the region at the time; and Edward Robinson, founder of modern Palestinology--the authors explore the complex cultural, cartographic and technical processes that shaped and determined the resulting maps of the region. Making full use of newly discovered archival material, and richly illustrated in both colour and black and white, Mapping the Holy Land is essential reading for cartographers, historical geographers, historians of mapmaking, and for all those with an interest in the Holy Land and the history of Palestine. --
