"Statutes of the International Circle of Jerusalem" – Rare French Booklet – Jerusalem, 1879
Statuts du Cercle International de Jérusalem [Statutes of the International Circle of Jerusalem]. Printer not indicated. [Jerusalem?, 1879?]. French.
Statutes of the "International Circle of Jerusalem" (Cercle International de Jérusalem), with a list of 44 surnames of the founders and members of the circle, including consuls and various position holders, European and Ottoman, who worked or lived in Jerusalem during the second half of the 19th century. The circle was presumably headed by the German consul Thankmar von Münchhausen (the German consul in Jerusalem between 1871 and 1881) and the Russian consul Nikolai Ilarionov.
The list of founding members also mentions the names Raouf Pasha (presumably, the governor of Jerusalem Muhammad Raouf Pasha), Bergheim (photographer Peter Bergheim?), Floyd (member of the American Colony in Jaffa and tourist guide Rolla Floyd?), Séraphine (architect Pascal Séraphine?), Mazaraki (Dr. Kalermo Mazaraki who worked in the Misgav Ladach Hospital?) and many others.
No reference to such a circle in Jerusalem could be found.
