By William M. Ramsay

Book Overview

""The Cities and Bishoprics of Phyrgia"" is a historical essay written by William M. Ramsay, which explores the local history of Phrygia - an ancient region in central Anatolia, Turkey. The book is split into two parts, with the first part covering the earliest times of Phrygia up until the Turkish Conquest. Ramsay delves into the various cities and bishoprics that existed in Phrygia, providing detailed accounts of their histories, cultures, and traditions. He also explores the religious beliefs and practices of the people, with a particular focus on the spread of Christianity in the region. The book is a comprehensive study of Phrygia's local history, and Ramsay's meticulous research and attention to detail provide readers with a rich understanding of the region's past. The first part of the book is an essential resource for anyone interested in ancient Anatolian history, and it remains a significant contribution to the study of Phrygia to this day.1895.
