A complete five-volume set of the classic mid-century photographic and archaeological survey of the biblical lands, edited by Benjamin Mazar and a distinguished team of scholars. Lavishly illustrated throughout with full-color photographs, maps, site diagrams, and scholarly commentary, this monumental work documents key sites in Israel and the Near East as they appeared in the mid-20th century, forming a foundational visual archive for biblical archaeology.

Volumes uniformly bound in the publisher’s cloth bindings (1959). Overall condition Very Good: minor shelf wear, tight bindings, clean interiors, and bright color plates with no fading. From the personal library of Miriam & Hyman Krellenstein—a respected New York Jewish family—though the provenance is private rather than institutional.

A handsome, complete set of a much-admired reference work on the archaeology, geography, and historical landscapes of the biblical world.

Five volumes, quarto.
