Epilogue Appendix: Extant Manuscripts of Samuel Bochart BibliographyReviews[A] meticulous and richly documented study...Shalev has painstakingly re-created a world of scholars who believed that they could literally recover an authentic biblical past embedded in scripture through the excavation and calibration of arcane etymologies and archaeological remains. Pauline Moffitt Watts, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 65, No. 2, pp. 555-556. The book is a wonderful contribution to a wide range of scholarly fields. It will be essential for historians of religion, science and ideas, especially those interested in early modern Europe, as well as for historians of geographical thought and cartography. It will also be a tool for the study of the development of Bible scholarship and the pilgrimage to the Holy Land. The book is well designed, with many illustrations, both clear and relevant to the discussion. Rehav Rubin, Imago Mundi 64:2: 228-229 Unpublished endorsement: Dr Shalev offers an informed and authoritative exposition of the deep learning and sophisticated thinking amongst scholars in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century western Europe about sacred space and place, and about the interrelationships in belief in both scientific and pious ideals. It should be read by anyone seeking to understand early underlying themes in early modern and modern art, poetry, and literature as well as the imagery of the substantial corpus of printed maps that has come down to us since the sixteenth century and that continues to be manifested in our own cultural life in all sorts of ways.
