TL;DRAbstract
This work has focused primarily on the town of Jerusalem and its local economy, with occasional references to contacts it maintained with other regions. Livestock was imported from the northern and north-eastern provinces, soap was exported to Egypt; rice, cloth, coffee and indigo were among the commodities imported from Egypt or sent from more remote provinces (Jedda) via Cairo. It was in the context of its relations with Egypt that we touched upon some of Jerusalem's links to other parts of Palestine: Jaffa served as the port of Jerusalem not only for European and other pilgrims, but for maritime traffic between Jerusalem and Cairo as well. Gaza was an important stopover for caravans taking the land route between the two cities.
