The first is Nicholas Guyatt's <a href"http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061152245/Have_a_Nice_Doomsday/index.aspx" rel="nofollow"><i>Have a Nice Doomsday</i></a>, which mentions the fact that John Hagee "has (quoting Simon) constructed a scale model of the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem into which he encourages his flock to insert prayers (gaps between the stones have been left deliberately for this purpose)." The second reference is quite a bit older: Lorenzo Longo, <i>Gerusalemme Piacentina … cioe' chiese e luoghi di Piacenza corrispondenti in sito a luoghi santi di Gerusalemme</i> (Piacenza, 1659). To quote Simon again, "the author asks his readers to associate various buildings in the north Italian city with scenes of the passion." That reminds me of <a href="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11064a.htm" rel="nofollow">Niccol?? da Osimo</a>'s <i>Zardino de oratione fructuoso</i> (Venice, 1494), which encourages the reader to do the same as a propadeutic to Passion meditation. Thanks, Simon! Simon Ditchfield has written to add two new references to my growing collection of Jerusalem replicas.
