| Summary | "The City of Jerusalem" by C. R. Conder is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book extensively explores the history and architecture of Jerusalem, offering insights gathered from over forty centuries of research and exploration. Conder aims to present a comprehensive overview of the city's significant historical developments and its cultural legacy, making the information accessible to a broader audience beyond academic specialists. The opening of the work introduces the author’s initial impressions of Jerusalem during his first visit in the early 1870s. Conder reflects on the city as he encountered it, depicting a landscape markedly different from the one known today, with fewer inhabitants and less modern development. He discusses his explorations of various significant sites, drawing attention to notable archaeological findings, including excavations of ancient structures and inscriptions that validate much of the historical narrative surrounding Jerusalem. The author expresses a desire to clarify the complexities of Jerusalem's history, navigating through the muddled traditions that have obscured factual understanding over the centuries.
