内容説明
The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is one of the holiest places on earth to Muslims, Christians and Jews. Occupying a vast area in the Old City, it enshrines the Sacred Rock, the focus of pilgrimage for all three religions. Although built in 692 AD to commemorate the Prophet Muhammad's flight from Mecca to Jerusalem, the mosque is also associated with sacred Christian events and numerous Jewish historical traditions and memories. This work is a visual documentation of the monument with photographs accompanied by a range of essays and historical travellers' tales. The history, art, architecture, and cultural and religious significance of the building is also explored.
