MONUMENTIS VETERIBUS ILLUSTRATA"
There is an old book "Palaestina ex
Monumentis Veteribus Illustrata"
The author Adriani Rilandi is a geographer, cartographer, traveler, philologist, he knew several European languages, Arabic, ancient Greek, Hebrew.
The book is written in Latin. In 1695
, Rilandi was sent to what was then called Palestine.
During the trip, he visited almost 2,500 settlements mentioned in the Bible. The research was conducted as follows:
* First he created a map of Palestine.
Then he identified each settlement that was mentioned in the Bible or the Talmud with its original name.
* If the original was Hebrew, it stood
for "pasuk" (a sentence in Holy Scripture that mentioned the name.)
* If the original was Roman or Greek, it gave a connection in Latin or Greek.
In the end, he made a census of the population of the settlements.
Here are the main conclusions and some facts:
* The country is mostly empty, abandoned, sparsely populated, the main population in
Jerusalem, Akko, Safed, Jaffa, Tiberias and Gaza.
* The majority of the population are Jews, almost all the rest are Christians, very few Muslims, mostly Bedouins. *
The only exception is Nablus (now
Shechem), which was inhabited by about 120 people from the Muslim Natsha family and about 70 "Shomronim" (Samaritans).
* There were approximately 700 people living in Nazareth, the capital of Galilee, all Christians.
* There are about 5,000 people in Jerusalem, almost all Jews and a few Christians.
* In 1695, everyone knew that the origins of the country were Jewish.
* There is not a single settlement in Palestine whose name has Arabic roots.
* Most settlements have Hebrew originals, and in some cases Greek or Roman Latin ones.
* Apart from the city of Ramla, there is not a single Arab settlement that has an original Arabic name.
The names are Hebrew, Greek or Latin, which have been changed to Arabic, which have no meaning in the Arabic language. In Arabic, there is no sense in names like Akko, Haifa, Jaffa, Nablus, Gaza or Jenin, and names like Ramallah, El Khalil (Hebron), El Quds (Jerusalem) do not have philological or historical Arabic roots. For example, in 1696, Ramallah was called Betela (Beit El, the House of God), Hebron was called Hebron and the cave of Machpelah was called by the Arabs El Khalil (Abraham's nickname).
Relandi mentions Muslims only as Bedouin nomads who came to the cities as seasonal workers in agriculture or construction sites.
* Approximately 550 people lived in Gaza, half of them Jews and half Christians. Jews successfully engaged in agriculture, in particular vineyards, olives and wheat, Christians engaged in trade and
transportation.
Jews lived in Tiberias and Safed, but their occupation is not mentioned, except for the traditional fishing in Kinneret.
* In the village of Um El Fahm, for example, there were 10 families, all Christians (about 50 people). There was a small Maronite church there.
The book completely refutes theories about
"Palestinian traditions",
"the Palestinian people" and leaves almost no connection between this land and the Arabs, who even stole the Latin name of this land (Palestine) and took it for themselves.
