1747 Middle East Jerusalem Temple Babylon MAP Mesopotamia King Salomon Asia

‘A Universal History’ is an impressive 18th-century work of geography and world history published by a variety of English authors beginning in 1747. It was, perhaps, the first work of its type to try and unify the history of Western Europe with the rest of the world. The plethora of authors, including the likes of George Sale, reference ancient classic authors such as Homer and Virgil, to give credibility to their historical views. This work includes impressive folding maps and engravings that have become extremely popular among map makers and enthusiasts.

This particular tome, volume IV, is part of the ‘Asiatic History’ section of the work in which the authors describe the history of Babylon, Mesopotamia, Jerusalem and the Holy Land, and Asia Minor and Phrygia.
