pagan and Jewish by turns, but now
it was raised to bishopric. Fidus was
the bishop, and he was present at the
Synod of LYDIA in 415 and at the
Council of Ephesus in 431.
It now became place for pilgrims
from Europe. For centuries they ar
rived and made their way to the Holy
City. Many of them landed at Ces-
area, further up the coast, but the
biblical traditions of Jaffa caused al
most all of them to visit it's pictur-
esque walls.
In the seventh century of our era the
Arabs invaded the country and then
began the reign of the Saracens and
Turks, which has continued, with occa-
sional periods Of other occupation, I'M
til the present day.
In all of the eight Crusades, which
began in the eleventh century and con-
tinued internationally for 300 years,
Jaffa was prominent figure in the ac-
counts. The Crusades were begun I'M

Hermit, a French monk, who, having
visited Jerusalem, found that the pill.
grims were unjustly treated by being
taxed highly for admission to the city
Of their dreams, and that they were
otherwise unjustly treated by the gov
eminent.
It was customary for most of the
Crusaders to land at Acre, which, while
further away from Jerusalem, seemed
to offer more direct route and a SAT-
er landing for the ships and galleys
which brought the Knights Templar
and Hospitallers.
Jaffa became the advanced base for
most of the operations against the So
racens and later the Turks at Jeru'
salem.

Napoleon in his Egyptian campaign
took the city Of Jaffa, and it was there
that it was declared that he left his
soldiers to die of the plague, but he
had his eye on posterity and had q
picture painted depicting him In ths
convent Of the Armenians going sym
pathetically among his stricken sol
diers, whom his enemies declared he
poisoned when he was about to leave.
Mehemet Ali took the town in 1882,
and the Arabs were evicted by the
Turks, who took the town eight years
later, although; in the meantime it had
been laid partly waste by an earth
quake in 1888.
The guide books will tell the modern
