The Scottish clergyman Michael Russell set out to join what earlier books kept apart: the history of the Jewish people and a description of the land itself. He traces Palestine from the patriarchs and the conquest under Joshua through Rome, the Crusades and the Turks, with travellers’ reports on towns like Hebron and Tekoa.
