Samuel Bochart (1599-1667), was a French Protestant biblical scholar whose Geographia Sacra seu Phaleg et Canaan exerted a profound influence on 17th-century Biblical exegesis. The work seeks to explain the origins of civilization in antiquity based upon the biblical stories of the Flood and Tower of Babel. Bochart attempted to match the 70 Nations recorded in the Biblical account with the various ethnic groups of Europe, Africa and Asia. Particularly noteworthy are the two engraved fold-out maps of the dispersion of the nations following the Tower of Babel, and the Aegean Sea, each with Hebrew and Latin place names.
