Tells the story of this structural model of buildings in the city of Jerusalem in the Second Temple Period. "Providing important insights into ancient Jerusalem on the eye of its destruction by the Romans, it also stimulates associations with the tradition of model making of the Holy City, practiced by European pilgrims who returned to the Holy Land in growing numbers during the 19th century, adding yet another dimension to the model's meaning for us. While in many ways the model speaks for itself, revealing the ancient city in all its grandeur, the explanations provided by this publication enhance our appreciation of the model and deepen our understanding of its rich details."
