Location

[edit]

It is located in equal distance between Bayt Nattif, Az-Zakariyya and Beit Jimal.

History

[edit]

In 1838, Edward Robinson was told it was in ruins, but he did not inspect it.[2][3][4]

In 1863 Victor Guérin thought it resembled a Christian monastery, consecrated to Paul the Apostle.[5]

In 1883, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Khurbet en Neby Bulus: "Heaps of stones round a Kubbeh. The latter is modern, with a cenotaph and a vault below, which looks like Crusading work, and is entered by a door on the west having a lintel with an ornamented boss. North of this building is a fine birkeh. The site has evidently been that of a small village."[6]

Pringle did not believe it was a Crusader work, he thought it was from the Byzantine era.[7]
