>From the year 1071 until 1917 Turks ruled Jerusalem. Between the Jews, Christians and all others who claim Jerusalem as their holy city, the Turkish rule was longest in the history of the Holy Land. First Seljukids, Artuqids and Zangids, and after that Mamluks from (1250 to 1516) and lastly Ottoman Turks ruled (from 1516 to 1917) in Jerusalem and surroundings. But despite this long rule, the Turkish heritage and contribution to Jerusalem is often overlooked or underestimated in the literature.

The Ottoman inscriptions from 1516 until 1917 are published in this book. Max van Berchem's famous Corpus of Jerusalem Inscriptions contains most of the inscriptions but he left out many inscriptions that were in Turkish language or were of recent date. But what was recent in 1900s is now more than 100 years old and needs to be published. In this book there are 122 inscriptions from Jerusalem and other parts of Ottoman Palestine mostly published for the first time. Many are published with new interpretation and improvement of readings. 

This book builds further on many publications of inscriptions and all the inscriptions are collected under one cover. All the inscriptions are accompanied by recent photos on paper and on CD-ROM, so that one can check the inscriptions and the author's interpretation and readings. There are also detailed maps of the locations of the inscriptions.
