The writers of Jerusalem, although renowned the world over, are not usually thought of as a distinct school; their story as Jerusalemites has never before been woven into a single narrative. Nor have the stories of the custodians, past and present, who safeguard Jerusalem's literary legacies. By showing how Jerusalem has been imagined by its writers and shelved by its librarians, Mack and Balint tell the untold history of how the peoples of the book have populated the city with texts. In their hands, Jerusalem itself-perched between East and West, antiquity and modernity, violence and piety-comes alive as a kind of labyrinthine library."--Jacket flap. 650 0 $a Libraries $z Jerusalem $x History. 650 0 $a Manuscripts $z Jerusalem $x History. 700 1 $a Balint, Benjamin, $d 1976- $e author. 700 1 $a Brenner, FreÌdeÌric, $d 1959- $e photography. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105025246.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191029011518.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A8B9EBB2CFA311E9B77D544F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
