Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a meticulous account of the discovery in 1119 of the tombs of the biblical patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the ancient city of Hebron. It draws on a contemporary account written by an anonymous canon of the Latin priory established in Hebron after the conquest of the city during the First Crusade. The author provides a detailed description of the shrine built over the burial site, and includes a fascinating legend about an embassy sent by the Byzantine emperor to retrieve the relics of the patriarchs. The book also sheds light on the tumultuous history of Hebron, from the Arab conquest in the 7th century to the reassertion of Latin control in the 12th century. Through a careful analysis of the historical context and the motivations of the individuals involved, the author reveals the complex interplay of religion, politics, and cultural exchange that shaped the events surrounding the discovery of the tombs. This book offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of Christianity and will appeal to anyone interested in the archaeology, history, or religious significance of the Holy Land.
