Sommario/riassunto

René Dussaud's Historical Topography of Ancient and Medieval Syria, published in 1927 and long out of print, is still considered a reference work, and as René Dussaud's best contribution to archaeological and historical studies on Syria. All researchers who have studied the ancient history of Syria have necessarily resorted to this classic, still serving as a reference to identify the toponyms of Syria and Lebanon. The study is based on the use of more than 300 sources, relying in particular on the reference works in geography available at the time of the writing of the book. For each region, from Phenicia to Palmyrene, the author gives an extremely erudite description by identifying each toponym found in ancient and medieval sources and placed in a historical context: it is therefore indeed a true historical topography.
