Jerusalem Explored, Being a Description of the Ancient and Modern City, with Numerous Illustrations Consisting of Views, Ground plans, and Sections, by Ermete Pierotti… Translated by Thomas George Bonney. London: Bell and Daldy, 1864. English. Two volumes.
English translation of the survey of Jerusalem by Italian engineer and archaeologist Ermete Pierotti. Volume I: text; Volume II: 63 plates, some folding, with lithographic prints of photographs and drawings (the photographs were taken by John Mendel Diness and others) depicting Mount Zion, David's Tomb, the Jewish Hospital Misgav Ladach, the Tomb of Absalom and other sites; includes a large panorama of Jerusalem as seen from the Mount of Olives.
Italian archeologist and engineer Ermete Pierotti worked in Jerusalem between 1854 and 1861. He was employed by the Ottoman governor of Jerusalem to serve as architectural consultant on renovations of religious sites in the city, which were then closed to Western scholars (in particular sites on the Temple Mount) and worked as an architect and engineer in various construction projects. Upon publishing "Jerusalem Exposed" he was accused of plagiarism, one of the reasons being him taking credit for photographs that others had produced.
Vol. I: XII, 339, [1] pp. Vol. II: [4] leaves, [63] pp + LXIII plates. 37.5 cm. Half-leather bindings. Top edges gilt. Good overall condition. Volume I: stains to a few leaves. Creases and some small tears (mostly to margins of first and last leaves). A long tear to one leaf. Several leaves partly detached. Volume II: Stains. Small tears to edges of several leaves. Several leaves and plates detached or loose. Small wormholes to gutters of approx. ten first leaves (slightly affecting the panorama of Jerusalem). The volumes were fumigated. Blemishes and minor wear to bindings. The binding of the second volume is detached.

Les fraudes archéologiques en Palestine, suivies de quelques monuments phéniciens apocryphes [Archeological Frauds in Palestine…], by Charles Clermont-Ganneau. Paris: Ernest Leroux, 1885. French.
A work on the forgery of antiquities in Palestine, with five illustrated plates and additional in-text illustrations. Two chapters of this work are dedicated to the forgeries of the Jerusalemite collector and antiquities dealer Moses Wilhelm Shapira (1830-1884). Inscribed on the front endpaper by the author, Charles Clermont-Ganneau.
French archeologist and Orientalist Charles Clermont-Ganneau (1846-1932) was one of the leading researchers of Palestine in the 19th century. Clermont-Ganneau came to Palestine in 1867 and began exploring its archeological sites. During the years 1873-1874, he led the Palestine Exploration Fund's archeological expedition to Palestine. With time, he acquired a reputation as one of the most important scholars of biblical archeology in Palestine. Today, Clermont-Ganneau is remembered due to his exposure of several archeological forgeries, including the forgeries of Moses Wilhelm Shapira – the Moabite collections of pottery and the scrolls allegedly discovered in the Dead Sea area.
357 pp + [5] plates, 17 cm. Fair-poor condition. Torn along spine; loose sections. The first plate is detached. Many pages unopened at upper edge. Creases and small tears to margins. Open tears to cover and spine (including a large open tear to front cover, affecting the text). One tear to back cover reinforced with tape. Small pen notation to back cover. Cover is partly stuck to endpapers.
