About From the Holy Mountain
William Dalrymple follows in the steps of two Byzantine monks. In 587 A.D., just before Islam erupted onto the Middle East, they journeyed from Constantinople to Egypt staying at and documenting the Christian communitites, monasteries and hermitages along the way, a surprising number of which survive today.
