Harold Marcus Wiener (1875-1929) was a British-born Jerusalem lawyer and bible scholar who was killed in the 1929 riots in Palestine. His entire estate was bequeathed to the Spanish and Portugese Jews' Congregation of London. Mordechai Ben Katharina Mayer Wiener was born into a privileged Anglo-Jewish family, received his legal education at Cambridge University and became a renowned British lawyer. But he became more famous as a Bible scholar focused on the legal aspects of Bible study. In 1923 he immigrated to Israel, "to better understand the Bible, " to retreat from public life, and to focus on his studies. He lived in Jerusalem near Herod's Gate, and became close to the Arab population, and he funded scholarships for Arab students at the American University in Beirut. On the outbreak of the 1929 riots, he was at home with 2 Jewish workers who were renovating his home. Wiener drove them in his car back toward the Jewish neighborhoods, but the three passengers were killed in the Damascus Gate. Wiener was buried in a mass grave along with 15 others killed in the first part of the riots (Wikipedia 2015) . SUBJECT(S) : Bible.

[SUMMARY]: This rare Italian-language account of British-ruled Palestine prior to the establishment of the state of Israel is otherwise in good condition., 0, London: I. B. Tauris, 2001. Feint smudge on the ffep. There is an odd bit of pencil annotation and underlining throughout. The dust jacket has a touch of edgewear. Sir Herbert Samuel, the first British High Commissioner in Mandatory Palestine (1920-1925) and only the second Jew after Disraeli to have reached such a high position in the British government, is generally seen as an impartial administrator. However, in this book, Sahar Huneidi contests this claim, arguing that most of the measures Samuel took during his time in Palestine were designed to prepare the ground not simply for the "Jewish national home" promised in both the Balfour Declaration and the Mandate of Palestine, but a Jewish state. Using a range of sources - many previously unknown - Huneidi charts Samuel's career in Palestine against the complex background of British policy in the region, the Zionist movement at its inception, and the emergent Palestinian Arab nationalist movement.. 1st Edition.

Rare in jacket. The author's first full-length book. He was the first practicing Jew to lead a major British political party, the Liberals, and as the High Commissioner of Palestine from 1920-1925, was also the first Jewish person to govern the historic state of Israel in 2000 years., Cassell & Company, Ltd, 1937, 3.5, Hardcover.

Original Green publisher's wrappers, 8vo, 16 pages with 7 photo plates. In French with some English on title page. Visitor's guide to Al-Haram Al-Sharif. This guide to the structures that comprise the al-Haram al-Sharif, the Temple Mount, is of course written from a religious Moslem perspective. Interestingly, despite this fact, it specifically defines the Haram Al-Sharif as the historical location of the Jewish Great Temple. On page 2/3, it is stated that "This site is one of the oldest in the world. Its sanctity dates from the earliest (perhaps from pre-historic) times. Its identity with the site of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute. This, too, is the spot, according to universal belief, on which David built there an altar unto the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings' [2 Samuel, 24:25]."Hence the Supreme Muslim Council (headed by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini) here officially records the historic Jewish connection to the Temple Mount.A visitor's guide to the Temple Mount, a descriptive guide to the buildings and structures on the Temple Mount, as well as their history and significance. With seven photographs: a panoramic view of the Temple Mount; Sabil Qaitbay (Fountain of Qayt Bay); Minbar al-Sayf (the Summer Pulpit); the Dome of the Rock; the Foundation Stone ("The Rock"); and the Al Aqsa Mosque (views of the exterior and interior). The guide begins with a statement declaring that on account of the sacredness of the entire site to Muslims, visitors are requested to refrain from smoking and from bringing dogs into the compound.This guide was published on behalf of the Supreme Muslim Council (SMC) which represented the religious interests of the Arab population in Palestine in the years of the British Mandate. The Council was established in 1922 and was entrusted with the management of the properties of the Waqf (the Muslim Trust) - including the Temple Mount - and with the administration of the Muslim judicial system. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, was elected president of the SMC.This guide was simultaneously printed in English. (above quote is taken here from the English edition).

The British Mandate over Palestine began just 100 years ago, in July 1920, when Sir Herbert Samuel, the first British High Commissioner to Palestine, took his seat at Government House, Jerusalem. The chapters here analyse a wide cross-section of the conflicting issues --social, political and strategical--that attended British colonial rule over the country, from 1920 to 1948. This anthology contains contributions by several of the most respected Israeli scholars in the field - Arab, Druze and Jewish. It is divided into three sections, covering the differing perspectives of the main 'actors' in the 'Palestine Triangle': the British, the Arabs and the Zionists. The concluding chapter identifies a pattern of seven counterproductive negotiating behaviours that explain the repeated failure of the parties to agree upon any of the proposals for an Arab-Zionist peace in Mandated Palestine. The volume is a modern review of the British Mandate in Palestine from different perspectives, which makes it a valuable addition to the field. It is a key resource for students and scholars interested in international relations, history of the Middle East, Palestine and Israel., 6, Hardback. New. In the aftermath of World War I there was furious agitation throughout Islam against the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire. Coupled with the powerful effect of the principle of self-determination, British indifference to Muslim sentiments gave rise to militant nationalism in Islam-which became de facto anti-Western. This detailed and convincing account describes British indecisiveness, policy contradictions, and how militant nationalism was aggravated by the Greek invasion of Smyrna and its ambition to create a Hellenic Empire in Anatolia with Britain's connivance. Immediately after World War I there was a fair chance of mutual coexistence and good relations between Arabs and Jews in Palestine. This possibility was nipped in the bud by the military administration (1918-1920) responsible for the anti-Jewish riots in Jerusalem in April 1920. High Commissioner Herbert Samuel supported the Arab extremists in his misguided policy, and complicated the situation further. The appointment of Hajj Amin al-Husseini to the exalted post of Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, and subsequently to the presidency of the Supreme Moslem Council of the Palestinians, proved fatal to Arab-Jewish relations and to the possibility of peace. As Friedman shows, the British administration of Palestine bears a considerable share of responsibility for the Arab-Zionist conflict in Palestine. Against this diplomatic background Arab-Jewish hostilities thrived, with consequences that endure today., 6<
