Aleppo is one of the longest-surviving cities of the ancient and Islamic Middle East. Until recently it enjoyed a thriving urban life - in particular an active tradition suq, which has a continuous tradtition going back centuries. Its tangle of streets still follow the Hellenistic grid and above it looms the great Citadel, which contains recently discovered remains of a Bronze/Iron Age temple complex, suggesting an even earlier role as a 'high place' in the Canaanite tradition. In this volume Ross Burns explores Aleppo's rich history from its earliest times through to the modern era, providing a thorough treatment of the fascinating city, accessible both to scholarly readers and to the general public interested in a factual and comprehensive survey of the city's past.
