Page 375 - Les six ouvertures latérales donnent accès dans des tombes, et les trois centrales dans des petites chambres construites de la manière suivante : à droite et à gauche elles sont garnies de plans horizontaux ou couchettes, surmontées d'une arcade en plein cintre ; au fond est pratiquée une couchette semblable, mais taillée en voûte cintrée dans sa largeur. Il faut naturellement y porter le haut du corps, pour juger de son étendue qui est masquée par le massif de la roche. Deux de ces...

The edges of these troughs were in many places chipped and broken, as if from long use ; and the whitewash had not only coated these parts, but had actually spotted several of the bones that lay...

The whole work seems to be endued with such absolute firmness, as if it had been designed for eternity. But the Turks have demonstrated in this instance, that nothing can be so well wrought, but they are able to destroy it. For of this strong aqueduct, which was carried formerly five or six leagues, with so vast expense and...
Page 360 - Aceldama, that is to say, The Field of Blood.' " This field still retains its name, and is called in every language, and by every people within or about Jerusalem, Jews, Christians, and Mohammedans, Aceldama. It is not far distant from the stream of Gihon ; and at the period of our visit, there were still the marks and remains of bricks and pottery-ware in the adjoining ravine — a place likely to be used for their manufacture, as it contained the clay suited for such purposes, and was in the vicinity...
Page 907 - Each one plunged himself, or was dipped by another, three times, below the surface, in honour of the Trinity; and then filled a bottle, or some other utensil, from the river. The bathing-dress of many of the pilgrims was a white gown with a black cross upon it.
Page 594 - Except one simple turrct, are they all ! Yet save the neighbouring city, it were hard. If Palestine were searched, to find a spot On which the Christian traveller should muse With fonder interest, than Bethany.
Page 375 - ... forçait à redescendre et à regagner la place qu'il devait occuper pour fermer l'édifice. Toutes ces dispositions, auxquelles personne jusqu'ici ne me semble avoir fait la moindre attention, sont parfaitement intactes; les deux dalles encastrées ont seules disparu, et le disque n'a pas conservé une position rigoureusement verticale, par suite du peu de soin que l'on a mis à l'écarter et à le caler.
Page 375 - ... qu'à l'aide de la pression d'un levier, agissant de droite à gauche pour dégager la porte, et de gauche à droite pour la clore. Afin d'opérer ce double mouvement, il fallait arriver jusqu'au disque par un couloir direct, que recouvrait ordinairement une pierre énorme dont les encastrements latéraux sont bien conservés. Ce couloir aboutissait, d'une part, directement à la porte d'entrée, et de l'autre, à un large puits, aujourd'hui comblé en trèsgrande partie ; on voit qu'une fois...

Page 542 - A wilderness it is called, as being very rocky and mountainous : but is well cultivated, and produces plenty of corn, and vines, and olive trees. After a good hour's travel in this wilderness, we came to the cave and fountain where, as they say, the Baptist exercised those severe austerities related of him f. Near this cell there still grow some old locust trees, the monuments of the ignorance of the middle times J. These the friars aver to...
