place in Jerusalem through its procession of civilization since the approach of

the Egyptian campaign in 1831 until the second Israeli aggression on the city

in 1967. The study is titled « Political Renaissance of Jerusalem 1831-1967».

The study consists of three parts: The first one is dedicated to discussing

the bases of its renaissance that were embodied in its strategic location, its

deeply-rooted civilized achievements and its architectural progress. The

third part discusses the aspects of its political renaissance during the period
