Jisr Jindas , арабский для "моста джиндас", [ 1 ] Также известный как Бэйбарс Бридж , был построен в 1273 году. Он пересекает небольшие вади , известные на иврите как река Аялон , на старой дороге, ведущей на юг к Лоду и Рамле . [ 2 ] Мост назван в честь исторической деревни Джиндас , которая стояла к востоку от моста. [ 3 ] Это самый известный из нескольких мостов, установленных султаном Бэйбаром в Палестине, которые включают в себя Yibna и Isdud Bridges . [ 4 ]
История
[ редактировать ]
Нынешняя структура датируется AH 672/AD 1273, но, как полагают, построена на римских основаниях. [ 5 ] Впервые он был изучен в наше время Чарльзом Саймоном Клермонтом-Ганно , который отметил, что арабская хроника ссылалась на строительство Бэйбаров в AH 672 из двух мостов значительного характера «в окрестностях Рамлех». [ 6 ] Считается, что вторым из этих двух мостов является мост Ибна . [ 6 ]
Clermont-Ganneau concluded that the bridge was built using masonry reclaimed from the Church of Saint George, which had been destroyed in the Crusader-Ayyubid War.[6]
On the west and east faces of the bridge are two nearly identical inscriptions, flanked by two lions (or leopards). The inscription on the east reads as follows:
Bismallah..., and blessings on their lord Muhammad, his family and his companions. The building of this blessed bridge was ordered by their master, the great Sultan al-Malik al-Zahir Rukn al-Din Baybars, ibn Abd Allah, in time of his son their Lord Sultan al-Malik al-Said Nasir al-Din Baraka Khan, may Allah glorify their victories and grant them His grace. And that, under the direction of the humble servant aspiring to the mercy of Allah. Ala al-Din Ali al-Suwwaq, may Allah grant grace to him and his parents, in the month of Ramadan, the year 671 H. [March–April 1273 C.E.]
Ala al-Din Ali al-Suwwaq was the same official charged with overseeing the construction of the Great Mosque of Lydda three years earlier.[7]
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the bridged served a major road in the Nahiyeh (sub-district) of Lod that encompassed the area of the present-day city of Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut in the south to the present-day city of El'ad in the north, and from the foothills in the east, through the Lod Valley to the outskirts of Jaffa in the west. This area was home to thousands of inhabitants in about 20 villages, who had at their disposal tens of thousands of hectares of prime agricultural land.[8]
In 1882 the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine noted that Jisr Jindas had a representation of two lions and an Arabic text. It further noted that it appeared to be "Saracenic work".[9]
Description
[edit]The bridge is over 30 metres (98 ft) long and 10 metres (33 ft) wide, and runs north–south. It consists of three arches and two central piers, with the central arch wider than the two other arches.[2]
Baybars panthers or lions
[edit]In his native Turkic language, Baibars' name means "great panther".[10] Possibly based on that, Baibars used the panther as his heraldic blazon, and placed it on both coins and buildings.[10] On the Bridge of Jindas, the lions/panthers used play with a rat, which may be interpreted to represent Baibars' Crusader enemies.[11]
According to Moshe Sharon, the lions on Jisr Jindas are similar to the ones on the Lions' Gate in Jerusalem, and Qasr al-Basha in Gaza. All represent the same sultan: Baybars. The Gaza lions were created with interlocking lines suggesting leopard spots, however, the felines' outline is similar. Sharon estimates that they all date to approximately 1273 C.E.[12]
