Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible Atlas of Maps and Plans to Illustrate the Geography and Topography of the Old and New Testaments and the Apocrypha: With Explanatory Notes, Also a Complete Index to the Geographical Names in the English Bibles The Maps in this Atlas contain the names of all places mentioned in the Sacred History which can be identified with a fair degree of probability. The Index, compiled by Mr. Grove, is intended to contain an exhaustive statement of the occurrences of every geographical name in the English version of the Old and New Testaments and the Apocrypha, with its original in Hebrew or Greek, and the modern name of its site, whether known or only conjectured. In all cases, what may be regarded as certain is distinguished from what is uncertain. The main purpose of the Notes is to explain the reasons for assigning their places in the Maps to the more important of those names which cannot be identified on clear and simple grounds of tradition, and to give short accounts of the chief controversies in the Geography and Topography of the Bible. In order to illustrate the different views that have been taken in these controversies, a few classical and modern names are inserted in the Maps. S. C. Preface To Revised Edition. The Maps in this Atlas have been revised, and in some cases redrawn and re-engraved, from the published surveys of the Palestine Exploration Fund, and other sources. The Index has been revised and completed in accordance with recent discoveries. The Notes have been revised and in great part rewritten.
