Tristram, first published in the nineteenth century and here presented in the 1898 Ninth Edition. Drawing upon his extensive travels and scientific investigations in the Holy Land, Tristram sought to illuminate the Scriptures through the study of the region's geography, geology, climate, flora, and fauna. The result is a fascinating blend of Biblical scholarship and natural science, designed to provide readers with a deeper understanding of the physical world described in the Old and New Testaments.\n                   \u003c\/div\u003e\n                   \u003cdiv\u003e\n                    \u003cbr\u003e\n                   \u003c\/div\u003e\n                   \u003cdiv\u003e\n                    Unlike purely theological commentaries, this substantial volume examines every animal and plant mentioned in the Bible and places them within the context of the landscapes and traditions of Palestine. Tristram's firsthand observations, undertaken during his travels in the Holy Land during the 1860s, were supplemented by the latest zoological and botanical research available at the time. His work became one of the standard Victorian references on Biblical natural history and remains an important contribution to both religious literature and the history of nineteenth-century science.\n                   \u003c\/div\u003e\n                   \u003cdiv\u003e\n                    \u003cbr\u003e\n                   \u003c\/div\u003e\n                   \u003cdiv\u003e\n                    Published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge in 1898, this handsome edition is bound in its attractive original decorated cloth, featuring elaborate gilt and black illustrations depicting birds and animals associated with the Biblical world. Adding further interest is the contemporary Holy Trinity Church, Oakleigh Sunday School prize plate dated 3rd December 1916, providing a tangible connection to early twentieth-century Melbourne. A beautifully preserved example of a classic Victorian work, the volume will appeal to collectors of Biblical studies, natural history, theology, and finely bound nineteenth-century books.\"\n                   \u003c\/div\u003e\n                   \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n                    \u003cbr\u003e\n                   \u003c\/div\u003e\n                   \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n                    \u003cfont color=\"#111111\"\u003e\n                     Light wear and fading to covers and spine as shown.
