Jerusalem
Jerusalem: Church of the Holy Sepulchre is Carta's latest guidebook designed for tourists in Israel. It is slim enough to be carried easily, but is packed full of helpful text, illustrations, and photographs that will enable visitors and pilgrims to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem to understand and appreciate what they are seeing. Part One of Jerusalem: Church of the Holy Sepulchre introduces you to the background of Jesus' cruci xion and burial as told in the Gospel accounts, as well as the development of the various churches that have stood on the site. It also introduces you to the different Christian groups that worship in the building today. Part Two will be useful as you walk around the building itself, looking at the main points of interest, such as Calvary, the tomb of Jesus, various chapels, and other features you might miss without a guide. The Bibliography and Further Reading list will enable you to take your study of this fascinating building further when you get home.
Saving the Holy Sepulchre
In Saving the Holy Sepulchre, Raymond Cohen tells the engaging story of how three major Christian traditions--Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Armenian Orthodox--each with jealously guarded claims to the church, struggled to restore one of the great shrines of civilization. It almost didnt happen. For centuries the communities had lived together in an atmosphere of tension and mistrust based on differences of theology, language, and culture. But thanks to the dedicated efforts of a cast of kings, popes, patriarchs, governors, monks, and architects, the deadlock was eventually broken on the eve of Pope Paul VI's historic pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1964.
Charter and Deeds of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre: Volume I
This collection of texts consists of several historical documents from the early 12th century, detailing the privileges and rights assigned to the canons of the Holy Sepulchre by the Latin Patriarchs of Jerusalem and King Baldwin I, and his regal successors. It discusses the establishment of prebends, the appointment of church officials, and the governance structure of the Church in Jerusalem. These documents highlight the collaboration between the church and the Jerusalemite crusader monarchy, emphasizing the importance of maintaining ecclesiastical order and the protection of church properties. The text also addresses penalties for violations against these decrees, reinforcing the sanctity of the church's rights, and the protection of the orders properties in the region.
The Liturgy of the Canons Regular of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem
Originally presented as the author's thesis (doctoral)--King's College, London under the title: The liturgy of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem (XII-XVI centuries).
Reimagining Jerusalem’s Architectural Identities in the Later Middle Ages
This book explores several fascinating medieval Christian and Islamic artworks that represent and reimagine Jerusalem’s architecture as religious and political instruments to express power, entice visitors, console the devoted, offer spiritual guidance, and convey the city’s mythical history.
Religious Life between Jerusalem, the Desert, and the World
Few medievalists of the last generation have contributed more to our understanding of late medieval religious life than Kaspar Elm. Over the last half century his reflections, now a monumental corpus of books, essays and other publications, have explored how the life of the cloister, canonry and convent intersected with the world of the laity, church and society beyond, and how that story reflected the broader sweep of European history. Until now relatively few Anglophone scholars and students have had direct access to Elm’s work. The present translation of several of his most important essays offers itself as a modest remedy to that circumstance.
