The Onomasticon by Eusebius of Caesarea

This is the first-ever translation into English of the Onomasticon by Eusebius, Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine (ca. A.D. 260-339), in parallel with Jerome's Latin translation and expansion of the same work, from the edition of Erich Klostermann. By comparing the two works we can see how Christian Palestine developed between the early 320s and the late 380s. Eusebius endeavoured to list every place mentioned in the Bible and locate each one in the lands he knew.
