"History of Phoenicia" by George Rawlinson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the Phoenician civilization, exploring its geography, culture, history, and contributions to trade and art. Given Rawlinson's background as a professor of ancient history, readers can expect a scholarly examination of the Phoenicians, highlighting their significance in the ancient world and their interactions with neighboring civilizations like Egypt and Greece. At the start of the book, the author dedicates his work to the University of Oxford and introduces the geographical and historical context of Phoenicia. The narrative begins by discussing the origin of the name "Phoenicia" and its geographical boundaries, as well as its natural features, including its coastal plains and mountain ranges. Rawlinson details the agricultural riches of the land, characterizing Phoenicia as a culturally rich and diverse region. He sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the Phoenicians' achievements and their complex relationships with surrounding nations, emphasizing the importance of this civilization in the historical narrative of the Mediterranean.
