Historical geography resources

[A.D. Riddle]

Here are a few works that I consult often, and it would be great to have an Accordance-searchable version of them. I would consider them reference works. The titles by Robinson are in the public domain, and the Simons' book might also be.

 

 

Robinson, Edward, and E. Smith.

    1841     Biblical Researches in Palestine, Mount Sinai and Arabia Petræa. A Journal of Travels in the Year 1838. 3 vols. Boston: Crocker & Brewster.

 

Robinson, Edward.

    1856     Later Biblical Researches in Palestine and in the Adjacent Regions, A Journal of Travels in the Year 1852. Boston: Crocker & Brewster.

 

Simons, J. [Jan Jozef].

    1959    The Geographical and Topographical Texts of the Old Testament: A Concise Commentary in XXXII Chapters. Leiden: E. J. Brill.

I would find these useful as well:

 

Wilkinson, John.

     2002     Jerusalem Pilgrims before the Crusades. 2nd ed. Warminster: Aris & Phillips.

     2006     Egeria's Travels. 3rd ed. with corrections. Oxford: Aris & Phillips. [3rd ed. = 1999]

 

Wilkinson, John; Joyce Hill; and W. F. Ryan.

     1988     Jerusalem Pilgrimage 1099-1185. Works Issued by the Hakluyt Society, Second Series 167. London: Hakluyt Society.

Just want to draw attention to these again, if anyone else is interested. As a follow-up to Wilkinson's works, there has since been published:

 

Pringle, Denys.

2012 Pilgrimage to Jerusalem and the Holy Land, 1187-1291. Crusade Texts in Translation 23. Burlington, VT: Ashgate.
