Synopsis

The Mosaic Map of Medeba is a historical book written by Lucius Hatfield Bugbee in 1901. The book is a contribution to the topography of ancient Palestine and is focused on the Mosaic Map of Medeba. The map is a Byzantine-era floor mosaic discovered in 1896 in the ancient town of Medeba, Jordan. The book provides a detailed analysis of the map, which is considered one of the most important cartographic sources for the geography of Palestine during the Byzantine period. The book also explores the history and culture of the region during that time, including the religious significance of the area. The author uses a variety of sources to support his analysis, including archaeological findings, historical texts, and other maps. The Mosaic Map of Medeba is an important resource for scholars and students of ancient history, geography, and cartography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
