This book shows how travellers and scholars since Roman times have
put together their maps of the land east of the River Jordan. It
traces the contribution of Roman armies and early Christian
pilgrims and medieval European travellers, Crusading armies,
learned scholars like Jacob Ziegler, sixteenth-century mapmakers
like Mercator and Ortelius, eighteenth-century travellers and
savants, and nineteenth-century biblical scholars and explorers
like Robinson and Smith, culminating in the late-nineteenth century
surveyors working for the Palestine Exploration Fund. This original
and valuable book shows, with full illustrations, how maps of the
Transjordan region developed through the centuries, and with its
detailed tables and bibliography will aid future scholars in
further research. The author took part in archaeological
excavations and surveys in Jordan, was Associate Professor of
Biblical Studies and Fellow at Trinity College Dublin, has
published research papers and books on ancient Jordan. John
Bartlett was the editor of the Palestine Exploration Quarterly, and
until recently was the Chairman of the Palestine Exploration Fund.
