Jerusalem - DARBOY (Georges, M.l' Abbé G.D.) JÉRUSALEM et la Terre-Sainte . Notes de Voyage, Recueilles et Mises en Ordre. Nouvelle Édition. Paris: Morizot, Libraire-Éditeur, s.d.. VIII, 400 pp., 20 grav.: il.; 275 mm. A travelogue by the then abbot—later Archbishop of Paris— Georges Darboy (1813–1871), Jérusalem et la Terre-Sainte (Jerusalem and the Holy Land ) brings together notes collected on-site about Jerusalem and the principal Holy Places (the Holy Sepulchre, the Via Dolorosa, the Mount of Olives, and Bethlehem), with excursions through Galilee and Syria, combining topographical and historical-biblical observation with devotion and liturgical practice. Originally published in 1852 and reissued in an expanded (and illustrated) version in 1865, it is part of the strong French tradition of nineteenth-century pilgrimages and offers a vivid portrait of sacred space. !
