Summary

1897. Part Two of Volume One. Ramsay, the first Professor of Classical Archaeology at Oxford University, pioneered the study of antiquity in what is today known as western Turkey. He went on to devote the latter part of his life to applying what he had learned to the study of the New Testament. He is also acknowledged as the outstanding authority on the life of Paul. In this work Ramsay attempts to throw some light on the question of how Phrygia has come to present the aspect that it now shows to the traveler. Contents of Part II. West and West-Central Phrygia: Eumeneia; Apameia; The Christian Inscriptions of South-Western Phrygia; The Banaz-Ova; Akmonia and the Akmonian Diocese; The Jews in Phrygia; The Pentapolis of Phrygia; The Christian Inscriptions of Central Phrygia; and Line of the Trade-Route to the East.
