The Onomasticon

by Eusebius, G.S.P. Freeman-Grenville

The Onomasticon of Eusebius Pamphili, Bishop of Caesarea (c. A.D. 260-339), is one of the most useful works extant from antiquity, Eusebius listed every place mentioned in the Bible and located each one in the lands he knew. These sites became the goals of Christian pilgrims for centuries to come. The translation of Eusebius' Onomasticon, prepared for the first time in English by G.S.P. Freeman-Grenville, follows the edition of Erich Klos-termann and includes also the Latin rendering of the Onomasticon, made by Jerome sixty years later.
