The writers of Jerusalem, although renowned the world over, are not usually thought of as a distinct school; their stories as Jerusalemites have never before been woven into a single narrative. Nor have the stories of the custodians, past and present, who safeguard Jerusalem's literary legacies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By showing how Jerusalem has been imagined by its writers and shelved by its librarians, Mack and Balint tell the untold history of how the peoples of the book have populated the city with texts. In their hands, Jerusalem itself--perched between East and West, antiquity and modernity, violence and piety--comes alive as a kind of labyrinthine library.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Merav Mack,Benjamin Balint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300222858\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300222852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2020","brand":"Merav Mack","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448790888703,"sku":"9780300222852","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b93146f8-a5b1-4338-8bb7-fa08820ae2db.jpg?v=1777260566","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jerusalem-merav-mack-9780300222852","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
