Historical Atlas of the Jewish People

This is the first atlas of its kind to document in such great detail the turbulent history of the Jewish people. A work of prodigious and meticulous scholarship by some of Israel’s most brilliant scholars, this atlas portrays every aspect of Jewish history that lends itself to cartographic interpretation – from biblical times to the present day. This is the unique and fascinating story of how an ancient people, separated from their roots and dispersed throughout the world, survived in exile for two thousand years and eventually returned and recreated itself within the framework of a modern state.

Now, in one easy volume, the reader is presented with an in-depth coverage of major themes in biblical, mishnaic, talmudic, medieval, and modern Jewish history by the foremost authorities in their field.
