At the same time it paints a vivid picture of life in an Ottoman province. By integrating court record, petitions, chronicles and even local poetry, the book recreates a historical world that, though long vanished, has left an indelible imprint on the city of Jerusalem and its surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892446281879,"sku":"9780791429167","price":3101.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780791429167.webp?v=1781187053","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/an-ottoman-century-the-district-of-jerusalem-in-the-1600s-9780791429167","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
