From the River to the Sea in Early Geographic Thought
Ā
A lavishly illustrated and meticulously guided excursion through the mapping of historic Palestine from the earliest record through to the twenty-first century.
Ā
Palestine is as much a place in the psyche of those who mapped it as it is a region of the earth. An authority on the history of cartography who has also written extensively on Palestine, Thomas SuĆ”rez is uniquely qualified to address the mapping of this region āfrom the river to the sea.ā
Ā
Richly illustrated, Palestine Mapped guides the reader through the Greek and Roman concepts of Palestine, those of various medieval Mediterranean civilizations, and the European āHoly Landā mapping that has dominated for half a millennium and continues to inform modern political thought. SuĆ”rez dissects that prevailing mindset rather than viewing the land through its lens, setting the book apart from all others on the mapping of the region.
