Between 2012 and 2014, the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum carried out new archaeological investigations in the southern wing of the monastery and in the church. The excavation in the central nave unearthed an empty tomb adorned with alabaster marble, placed on the highest point of the mountain. Starting from the archaeological data, the author critically reflects on the architectural phases of the basilica, how the monastery was run and its daily life. Special attention is also given to pilgrimages to the monastic shrines beyond the River Jordan and their progressive abandonment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Davide Bianchi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3700186487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783700186489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austrian Academy of Sciences Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Davide Bianchi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066389049599,"sku":"9783700186489","price":186.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef11cca1-d200-44e8-aa81-575c62390335.jpg?v=1768678222","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-shrine-to-moses-davide-bianchi-9783700186489","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
