GEOGRAPHIA ANTIQUA ET NOVA: 4& Se aS ORAS Oo ttle SYSTEM OF ANTIENT and MODERN GEOGRAPHY, WITHA rts he SETT of MAPS Engraven from Ceviarius’s. DESIGNED FOR The Ufe of Scuoous, and of GentiemMen, who make the AnrizenT Wrirers their Delight or Study. ‘Tranflated fromthe French of Mr.L7 ABBE’ DU FRESNOY, with great Additions and Improvements, fom ProLremy, STRABO Cretrarius, &, To which is added a Large INDEX, LONDON: Printed for Jouw and Pavt Kwapron, at the Crown in Ludgate-Strect. MDCCXLIL ‘( iii) THE PREFACE. HE following Treatife of Geography, defigned for the Ufe of Schools, and of Gentlemen who delight in the ftudy of Antient Hiftory, con- tains a Defcription, and the feveral Divifions of the World, from the earlieft Hiftorical Times, to the Fall of the Ro- man Empire. As there was nothing exatly of the fame Nature extant before, ’tis to be hoped, that it will be ac- ceptable to the Public. We need not here enlarge upon the Ufefulnefs of fuch a Defign: For it is univerfally agreed, that one of the moft ufeful, agreeable, and entertaining Sciences, is that of Geography. It fhows us, as in a Glafs, the whole World ; brings every Part of it to our view; and makes us acquainted, with very little Charge, and without the Trouble, Danger, or Fatigue of Travelling, with the moft diftant Countries. Without the help. of this faithful Guide, the Reader of an Hiftory, or even of a Book of Travels, is loft and bewilder’d ; not able to forma clear and diftiné Idea of what he is about ; nor capable of reaping from it fo much Inftruation, or Pleafure as he would otherwife. A2 GroGRAPHY iv PREFACE Geocraruy being a Science of fuch great'and general Ufe, care ought to be taken to facilitate the Study of it, as much as poffible. Several have attempted fo to do} but, by being either too prolix or too concife; for want of Method, Order, and Clearnefs ; or by fome other im- proper Means, they have rather perplexed than illuftrated fo plain and agreeable a Subject. The antienteft Geogra~ phical Writer extant, is Strabo, anative of Apamea in Cappadocia, who flourifhed in the reigns of Auguftus and Tiberius. _He wrote feventeen: Books of / Geography. ; whereof the two firft contain: ‘the do¢trinal part-of ‘Geo- graphy in general: the third, defcribes Spain’ -the fourth, Gallia, and the Britifh MMands: ‘the fifth, and fixth, Italy : the feventh, Germany, the Getz, &c. Illyricum, Epirus, and Taurica Cherfonefus: the eighth, ninth, and tenth, contain Greece, and the neighbouring Iflands: the next four, have Afia intra Taurum : the two next, Afia extra Taurum, India, Affyria, Babylonia, Syria, Arabia, &c. and, laftly, the feventeenth Book defcribes Egypt, Zthio- pia, Carthage, and the reft of Africa. He delivers things with more Accuracy than thofe who had preceeded him ; but he is too much an Hiftorian to be a good Geogra- pher; and wanting Tables and Maps, and the Longitudes and Latitudes being things beyond his skill, without which it is fcarce poffible to fix places aright, he is guilty of great Miftakes, * The next confiderable Writer of Geo- graphy, was Claudius Ptolemaus, an Egyptian by Birth, who * See Refleétions upon Learning, €¢. by the late learned 7.

He was the firft who “reduc’d Geography’ to Art; form’d a Syftem of the Univerfe; aflign’d the Dif tance and Magnitude of the celeftial Bodies; prefcrib’d the Methods. of, difcovering Longitude and Latitude by obfervations. of the. fix’d Stars, ~ and the’ couple” of “the Planets; invented the Meri¢ Parallels, and form’d a fett of Geographical Charts. ” Geography is in fevent Books. He. was a Perfon of the greateft Judgment, In- duftry,and"Learning ; !and cultivated Aftronomy beyond any that had gone before him. His Invention, of apply- ing Aftronomy to the illuftration of Geography, has been infinitely ufeful to Mankind. But ftill, notwithftanding all his Advantages, he fell into many and great Errors. The other antient Geographers, are Dionyfius Alexan- drinus, Stephanus Byzantinus, Paufanias, Pomponius Mela, Hanno, Scylax, Agatharcides, Dicearchus, Stym- nus Chius, Agathemeris, &c, which are very’ imperfed, and abound with Faults. : Tue prefent Work is defign’d, to fupply the Wants of thofe Writers, to correct their Miftakes, and to bring their voluminous Books into a narrow Compaf. It is extratt- ed from the beft and moft authentic Authors; namely Strabo, and Ptolemy, C. Plinii Hiforia Naturalis, An- tonini Itinerarium, C. Cellarii Geographia, Brietii Pa- rallela Geographia Veteris & Novae, Cluverius, Camden's Britannia ; and the moft approv’d Writers of Geography, both Antient and Modern. ‘The Plan and Form of it, is taken from the Methede pour etudier la Geographie, Par Mf Abbé Lenglet du Frefney.

IL The general Divifion of the World, according to the An- cients. HE World was formerly, as now, divided into Lanp and WarTER. The Land, or the Earth, has not always been divided by the Ancients in the fame manner; but moft commonly into three parts, fia, Europa, and Africa. Some divided it only into two, namely fia and Europa, becaufe under Europe, Africa was included. By others, though but feldom, it was divided into four, Afia, Europa, Africa, and Egypt: the laft being made one of the General Parts of the World, on account of its populoufnefs ; for there were reckoned as many Inhabitants in it as in any of the other three fingly confidered. Finally, by others, the Terraqueous Globe was divided into 4fia, Africa, Europa, and Greece ; the latter being diftinguithed from the reft of Europe. But as the firft Diftribution is the moft common, I think it beft to adhere thereto. The World, as far as it was known to the Ancients, confidered as one continued Traét, was thus bounded on the outer fides. Upon the Weft, by the Atlantic Ocean: On the North, by the Northern or Fro- zen Sea: By the Tartarian or Indian Ocean on the Ea/?: And on the South, by the Ethiopic or Indian Ocean. But, with regard to each other, the Three Continents were thus bounded. Afia was parted from Europe by the River Tanais or Don ; and by the Nile from Africa: Which on the North was divided from the two other Continents by the Mediterranean-Sea. Of Water. The Water in general is divided into Oceans, Seas, Gulfs, Straits, Lakvs, and Rivers, The Oceans are, Oceanus Septemtrionalis, five Hyperboreus, qui @ glacialis, the Northern Ocean, or Frozen Sea: Oceanus Eous, five Orientalis, Mar del zur: Oceanus Meridionalis, five Auftralis, the B Indian (2) Indian and Ethiopic Ocean: And Oceanus occiduus, five Heperius, qui & Ailanticus, the Great or Atlantic Ocean. But the Ancients negleéting thefe accurate Diftintions, have given the Name of Mare, or Sea, to any large Collection of Water, though it was only a Lake or a Bay. And that great Body of Water where- with the Earth is furrounded, they divided into two general Parts, Mare Externum, and Mare Internum. Mare ExTernum comprehended all that lay beyond Hercules’s Pillars, or without the Straits of Gibraltar ; and was (as above) divided into four great Parts, Oceanus SEPTEMTRIONALIS, or the Northern Ocean, was di- vided into Mare Britannicum, the Britifh Sea, and Mare Aréloum;, the North Sea. The Britis Sea was fab-divided into eight Parts, namely, 1. Oce- nus Callaicus, the Sea of Gallicia, and part of the Bay of Bifcay. 2. Oceanus Cantabricus, part of the Bay of Bifcay. 3. Oceanus A- guitanicus, on the Coaft of Guieine. “4. Oceanus Britannicus, the Britifh Channel. 5. Oceanus Germanicus, the German Ocean. 6 Oceanus Hibernicus, part of St. George’s Channel, 7. Oceanus Ver- ginius, part of the fame. 8, Oceanus Deucaledonius, the Sea between North Britain and Ifeland. Mare Arétoum, the North Sea, was divided into three Parts ; namely, 1. Mare Almactium, feu Scytbicum. 2. Mare Chronium, “feu Sarmaticum, 3. Mare Pigrum, feu Glaciale: Which ibree Divifions comprehend only the Northern Ocean, or Frozen Sea, that was thus divided into three Parts by the Ancients, And un- der this head might be placed the Szzzs Codanus, now called the Bal- tick Sea. Oceanus Eous, was divided into Mare Eoum, properly fo called, which is part of the Sea of China, the Archipelago of St. Lazarus, and part of the South Sea; and into Mare Eoum Sericum, part of the aftern Ocean on the Coaft of Tartary. ‘AustTrALis OcrANus, or the Southern Ocean, was divided into— Oceanus Indicus, the Indian Ovean,—Mare Erythraum, the Red Sea, —and Oveanus Erhiopicus, the Ethiopic Ocean. And the Red-Sea was fabdivided into Sinus Arabicus, the Sea of Mecca, or Jam Suph 5 Si nus Perficus, the Perfian Sea, and Gulf of Baflora ; and Arabicum Mare, on the Coafts of Arabia, Ocr- (3) Oceanus Occipuvs, five He/perius, was, what is now called, the Weftern Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the weftern part of the Ethiopian Ocean, Maze Inrernom, or the Mediterranean Sea, better known to the Ancients, and of greater account with them than the Mare Externum, was divided into eight Parts; viz, 1. Mare Sardoum, the Sea of Sat- dinia, which reached from the Straits of Gibraltar to the Ifland of Sar- dinia, This was fub-divided into five Parts, namely, Mare Ibericum, near the Straits of Gibraltar, between Fez and Algiers in Affica, and the Kingdoms of Granada, Murcia, and Valentia, in Spain. More Balearicum, reaching from the Wands Majorca and Minorca, anciently called Balearides, to Roufillon. Mare Gallicum, along the Coafts of Languedoc and Provence. Mare Ligufticum, from the Coafts of Provence as far as the Ifland of Corfica. Mare Sardoum, the Sea of Sardinia properly fo called, extending from that Ifland acrofs the Me- diterranean to the Coaft of Barbary. 2. Mare Inferum, otherwife called Tyrrbenum, Tufeum, and Au- Jfoniun, watered the Coafts of Tufcany, and lay between Sardinia, Corfica, and the Straits of Sicily. 3. Mare Ionium, the Ionian Sea, extended from Sicily as far as the Ile of Crete or Candia. It was otherwife called Mare Chronium, Cel- ticum, Adriaticum or Adrias, dufoniun, and Siculum: And contain- ed thefe three Parts, Sinus Jonicus or Adriativus, the Adriatic Sea, or Gulf of Venice; Mare Ionicum, the Ionian Sea proper, from the Gulf of Venice, along the Coafts of Greece, towards the Morea ; and Mare Aufonium or Siculum, from Sicily to the Peloponnefus or Morea. 4. Mare Bgcum, the Egean Sea, or the Archipelago, anciently called allo Mare Caricum, Minsium, Gracum, Melas, Afiaticum, and Argolicum, Jay between Crete, the Morea, Greece, the Dardanelles or Straits of Gallipoli, Afia minor or Natolia, and the Ile of Rhodes. It was divided into nine Parts, namely,—Mure Creticum, Mare di Candia, between the Morea and Crete—Mare Saronicum, between the Morea and Attica— Mare Macedonium, along the Coafts of Ma- cedonia and Thrace— Mare Gracienfi, adjoining to Greece— Mare Agewn proper, between the Ifles of Eubaw, or Negropont, and Len os, now called Stalimena— Mare Icarium, between the Ifles of Sa- mos, Chios, and Icaria—Mare Myrtoum, the Sea of Mandria, be- Ba tween (4) tween the Ifles of Mandria, Cos, and Samos—Triopium Mare, on the Coaft of Doris—Mare Carpathium and Rhodienfe, between the Ilands of Carpathus, now Scarpanto, and Rhodes. Tn this Sea were likewife the following Bays or Gulfs, Laconicus Sinus, the Gulf of Colochina; Argolicus Sinus, the Gulf of Napoli; Pelagicus Sinus, ot Thermaicus Sinus, Gulf of Salonichi; Singiticaus Sinus, Gulf of Monte Santo; Strysonicus Sinus, Gulf of Conteffa ; Melanus Sinus, 8c. 5» Mare Partkenium, ot Sinus Virginis, now the Gulf of Satalia, was divided into feven Parts, viz. Mare Lycium, on the Eaft of the Te of Rhodes ; Mare Pamphylium, Welt of Cyprus; Mare Ifficum or Cilicium, North of the Ifle of Cyprus; Mare Syriacum, between the Ifle of Cyprus and Syria; Mare Phenicium, on the Coaft of Pa- leftine; Mare Ionium alterum, from Paleftine to Egypt; Mare E- gyptium or Pharium, on the Coafts of Egypt. 6. Mare Lyhicum, was divided into two Parts ; namely, Mare Ly- bicum proprie, on the Coatt of Barca; and Mare Africanum, along the Coafts of Tripoli and Biferta. 7. Pontus Euxinus, Mare Maggiore, or the Black Sea, is divided into two Parts, the Eaftern and the Weftern. 8. Above it, is, Palus Meotis, the Sea of Zabacche or Tana, which difcharges itfelf into it by the Straits of Caffa. 8. And below the Pontus Euxinus, is Propontis, or Sea of Marmo- ra, reaching from the Dardanelles to Conftantinople. g. To which may be joined that great Lake, called Mare Cafpium, and now the Sea of Bachu, or Sala, or More Gualenfkoi.. It was for- merly divided into four Parts; Mare Scythicum, Albanium, Cajpium, and Hyrcanum. Hellefpontus, and Bofphorus, or Bofporus, Thracius, are two Straits ; the firft whereof is now called The Straits of Gallipoli; and the fe- cond, The Straits of Conftantinople. CHAP. (5) CHAP. IL Of Europe in general, and the Britifb Iflands. Jatia, and Celtica, but moft commonly Europa. This Part, always more efteemed than the reft, either upon account of its ‘Temperature, or the Character of its Inhabitants, was bounded on the North and Weft by the Mare Exterum or Great Ocean; on the South by the Mare Internum ot Mediterranean; and on the Eaft by the Tanais or Don: though others have fixed its Bounds on that fide, at the Phafis or Hypanis in Old Georgia, fome at the Danube, fome at the Rha or Wolga, and Ody, and others at the Carambyce, fappo- fed to be the Dwina in Mufcovy. The Languages {poken in Europe were, The Sarmatian, which is thought to be the fameas the Sclavonian, the Celtic, Greek, and Latin. Europe was divided into nine Parts, namely, I. The Britith Mes, Infule Britannice. Ml. Spain, Hifpania. WI. Gaul, Gallia. IV. Germany, Germania. V. Sarmatia, which contained Poland, and pat of Mufcovy. VI. Dacia, part of Hungary and Tranfilvania, VIL. Zhricum, part of Auftria and Hungary, Sclavonia, Bofnia, and Dalmatia, VIII. Greece. IX. Italy. ‘Thefe feveral Parts were not all divided into Provinces, but fome- times into Provinces, and fometimes into People or Nations, as will afterwards appear. E UROPE was fometimes called by the Ancients Tyria, Ga- Of the Briti~s lands. The Name of Infidee Britannica, ot Britith Ilands, was given by the Ancients to thofe Iflands that lie in the North-weft Corner of Eu- rope, which they looked upon asa diftin& World from their own, peniths tot0 divijes orbe Britannos, "They divided them into three Parts: viz. Albion, Hibernia, and the Leiter Wands, Minores Infule. ALBion, called otherwife Britannia Major, and now Great Bri- tain, contained England and Scotlund, as it does at prefent. Tt was divided into two Parts, Aldion citerior, or South-Britain, which was conquered (6) conquered by the Romans, and Albion ulterior, or North-Britain, of which they fabdued but a very fmall part. ALBION CITERIOR, which is properly England, was divided into two Parts, Superior, and Inferior, the higher and the lower. ‘The former contained thefe three Provinces, Britannia Prime, Fla- via Cafarienfis, and Britannia Secunda. Albion Inferior, compre- hhended Maxima Cafarienfis, and Valentia. I.
