This book is written in Latin by Adriani Rilandi In 1695 describing in great detail, what was then called Palestine. He visited the entire region, ~2,500 towns, and recorded a census.
Rilandi was a geographer, cartographer, traveler, philologist, he knew several European languages, Arabic, ancient Greek, Hebrew.
Here are the primary facts & conclusions:
* The country is mainly empty, sparsely populated, the main population is Jerusalem, Akko, Tsfat, Jaffa, Tveria and Gaza.
* Most of the population were Jews. That's right. Jews. Everyone else is Christians, aside from very very few Muslims, mostly Bedouins.
* The only exception is Nablus (now Shchem), where approximately 120 people from the Muslim family Natsha and approximately 70 "shomronims" (Samaritans).
* In Nazareth, the capital of Galilee, lived approximately 700 people - all Christians.
* In Jerusalem there were about 5,000 people, almost all Jews and a few Christians.
* In 1695, everyone knew that the origin of the country was Jewish.
* There is not a single settlement in Palestine that has Arabic roots in its name.
* Most settlements have Jewish originals, and in some cases Greek or Roman Latin.
* About 550 people lived in Gaza, half of them Jews and half Christians.
Jews were successful in agriculture, especially in vineyards, olives and wheat, Christians were largely engaged in trade and transportation.
The book completely refutes theories about "Palestinian traditions", "Palestinian people" and leaves almost no link between the land and the Arabs who even stole the land's Latin name (Palestine) and took it for themselves.
And now "Free Palestine" people, remind me, please, why are you trying to free Palestine from it's original indigenous people (Jews) and give it to colonizers and occupiers?
