Description
Text entirely in French. Seven photographic plates depicting the Temple Mount. Upper corner of rear cover with portions of Supreme Muslim Council stamp here torn off, as all copies, (for purposes of the Council’s internal accounting).
summary
This guide to the structures that comprise the al-Haram al-Sharif, the Temple Mount, is of course written from a religious Moslem perspective. Nonetheless, it declares (p.2) that the site is where the Temple of Solomon stood and where David offered sacrifices to God (Samuel II, 24:25).
Hence the Supreme Muslim Council (headed by Haj Amin al-Husseini) here officially records the historic Jewish connection to the Temple Mount.
pp. (24). Two neat hole-punches. Original printed wrappers. Sm. 4to.
