Naplouse

1694. The great historical, geographical and poetical dictionary by Louis Moreri.

Naplouse, or Napoulouse, a City of Palaestina, where Garamond, Patriarch of Jerusalem, celebrated a Council for the Reformation of Manners in 1120, as we are informed by Gulielmus Tyrius. We must not confound this City with Sebaste, which was the same with Samaria. Napoulouse is seated at the Foot of Mount Gerizim. It was formerly called Sychar. See Cellarius Histor. Samar. c. 1.
