Mount Sinai brings this rich history to light, exploring the ways in which the landscape of Mount Sinais summit has been experienced and transformed over the centuries, from the third century BCE to World War I. As an important site for multiple religions, Mount Sinai has become a major destination for hundreds of visitors per day. In this multifaceted book, George Manginis delves into the natural environment of Mount Sinai, its importance in the Muslim tradition, the cult of Saint Catherine, the medieval pilgrimage phenomenon, modern-day tourism, and much more. Featuring notes, a bibliography, and illustrations from nineteenth-century travelers books, this deft blend of historical analysis, art history, and archaeological interpretation will appeal to tourists and scholars alike.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 953.1 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
