Preserved toponymy provides a basis for research in the historical geography of the country and is also of major importance for studies in the history of Hebrew and Aramaic, being a kind of ancient `recording` of an archaic linguistic inventory. This title reviews sixty of these toponyms, tracing their documentation in various languages.
