A mountain peak above the Monastery of St Catherine in Egypt, Mount
Sinai is best known as the site where Moses received the Ten
Commandments in the biblical Book of Exodus. This book brings this
rich history to light, exploring the ways in which the landscape of
Mount Sinai s summit has been experienced and transformed over the
centuries, from the third century BCE to World War I. As an
important site for multiple religions, Mount Sinai has become a
major destination for hundreds of visitors per day. In this
multifaceted book, George Manginis delves into the natural
environment of Mount Sinai, its importance in the Muslim tradition,
the cult of Saint Catherine, the medieval pilgrimage phenomenon,
modern-day tourism, and much more. Featuring notes, a bibliography,
and illustrations from nineteenth-century travelers books, this
deft blend of historical analysis, art history, textual criticism,
and archaeological interpretation will appeal to tourists and
scholars alike.
