An exceptionally interesting and scarce Greek Orthodox antiquarian publication, printed in Jerusalem in 1929: Η Ιερά Μονή του Σαρανταρίου Όρους (The Holy Monastery of Sarantariou Mount), by the Greek scholar Ioannis Fokylidis.
This historical and theological study is devoted to the renowned Monastery of the Temptation, dramatically situated on the steep cliffs overlooking Jericho in the Holy Land. The monastery is traditionally associated with Christ’s forty-day fast and temptation in the wilderness, making it one of the most significant pilgrimage sites in Eastern Orthodox Christianity.
An authentic publication from the Holy Land, printed by the printing house of the Holy Community of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem (Τύποις Ιερού Κοινού του Παναγίου Τάφου). Its place of publication gives this volume particular historical and collectible interest.
The original front cover features the monastery’s distinctive emblem or seal, dated 1900, adding to the visual and documentary appeal of this publication.
The book provides valuable insight into the monastery’s religious history, geographical setting, traditions and spiritual significance. It is an appealing historical source for collectors of Greek Orthodox literature, Jerusalem imprints, Holy Land history and early 20th-century theological publications.
