The archaeologist and New Testament scholar William Mitchell Ramsay
(1851 1939) first published The Historical Geography of Asia Minor
in 1890, pioneering the study of classical topography. The book,
based on his extensive fieldwork, is split into two parts. Part 1
examines the trade routes and road systems - both Roman and
Byzantine - of Asia Minor. It discusses Hellenism and Orientalism
and assesses the reliability of ancient topographical accounts of
the area, including the Peutinger Table, the itineraries and a
number of Ptolemy's geographical comments. Part 2 examines the
political divisions of Asia Minor into cities and bishoprics. A
number of maps and tables are included. Ramsay's authoritative
survey opened up the historical study of the geography and
topography of Asia Minor in many disciplines. His work has been
used widely by archaeologists, classicists, and New Testament
scholars. Still not fully superseded, it remains a key text in
historical geography.
