The work sheds the light of modern research on the architecture of the Jews as reported in the Bible, Book of Macabees and Josephus. Louis Félicien Joseph Caignart de Saulcy (1807-1880) was a member of the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres. He voyaged to the Near East and is celebrated for his research in the fields of archeology and numismatics. See JE, Vol. XI, pp. 87
