SynopsisThe studies collected here pay tribute to their author's enduring contribution to the medieval archaeology of the Near East. The first part of the book deals with the 'Pilgrim's Castle', the great Templar fortress and town at 'Atlit. The significance of Johns' excavations at this site has been relatively neglected, because it remains in a military area, inaccessible to visitors, and because almost the entire stock of his major publication was lost in 1947. This 'Guide to 'Atlit', a synthesis of historical, archaeological and architectural research on the monument, is reprinted here together with all the interim reports relating to the medieval period. Also included are Johns' studies on the Citadel of Jerusalem, the 'Tower of David', and on the Islamic castle of 'Ajlun. Together, they represent a fundamental contribution to the study of the period of the Crusades and to the military architecture of the Middle Ages. The notes by Denys Pringle bring the accounts up to date in the light of recent research., This volume presents publications from three separate investigations conducted by the author between 1929 and 1948: firstly, a report of the Saracen castle of 'Ajlun in Jordan; secondly, a guide to the great Templar fortress of 'Atlit, known as Pilgrim's Castle, which remains the definitive account and is presented with the contemporaneous excavation reports; thirdly, a detailed report of the Citadel of Jerusalem. A final postcript is on The Attempt to Colonize Palestine in the 12th and 13th Centuries.
