Synopsis :

The two-volume Map-by-Map Directory to the Barrington Atlas--an essential companion to the atlas

At close to 1,500 pages, this is a separate two-volume print edition of the Map-by-Map Directory to the Barrington Atlas. The directory is also available online at http: //assets.press.princeton.edu/B_ATLAS/B_ATLAS.PDF

The Map-by-Map Directory is an essential accompaniment to the Barrington Atlas. A uniquely rich, comprehensive, and up-to-date distillation of evidence and scholarship, it has no match elsewhere and opens the way to an immense variety of further research.

The Directory is designed to provide information about every place or feature in the Barrington Atlas. The section for each map comprises:

• a concise text drawing attention to special difficulties in mapping a region, such as extensive landscape change since antiquity, or uneven modern exploration.
• a listing of every name and feature on the map, with basic data about the period of occupation, the modern equivalents of ancient placenames, the modern country within which they are located, and brief references to relevant ancient testimony or modern studies.
• a bibliography of works cited.
