Beautifully illustrated, Jerusalem: The Story of a Great City is enriched by the addition of carefully researched documents that offer a unique insight into the events that have made history, including: • An extract from the Dead Sea Scrolls, some of the earliest surviving biblical documents • The letter written by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent regarding the building of a mosque in Jerusalem • The handwritten draft of the 1917 Balfour Declaration stating the British support for the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people • The Declaration of Independence from 1948 announcing that the State of Israel had been formally established.
