This volume offers a detailed examination of Jerusalem's ancient and modern aspects, focusing on its topography, history, climate, and population. It aims to provide an accurate and factual record of the city's archaeology and historical significance, drawing upon extensive fieldwork and studies over several years. The opening of the work presents Pierotti's preface, where he expresses his intent to fill a gap in existing literature on Jerusalem by offering a thorough and firsthand account based on eight years of personal research. He critiques previous works for their inaccuracies or overreliance on secondary sources, while emphasizing his own methodology, which included excavating and mapping the city’s topography. The opening sets the stage for a structured exploration of Jerusalem, beginning with the origin of its name, its topographic features, and the circumstances surrounding its historical development. The author establishes his credibility by citing his hands-on experiences and interactions with local residents, thus signaling his commitment to presenting an authentic depiction of the city steeped in historical and archaeological context.
