Mission de Phénicie [Mission to Phoenicia], edited by Ernest Renan. Paris: Imprimerie Impériale, 1864. French. Atlas volume only.

Ernest Renan (1823-1892), French historian of religion, historian, philologist and archeologist. In 1860, he headed a scientific expedition on behalf of Emperor Napoleon III, which accompanied the French Expeditionary Force to Syria and Lebanon (during the Mount Lebanon civil war and the massacre of Christians by the Druze). The expedition conducted a survey of the historical sites of Phoenicia and its findings were published in the two volumes of "Mission to Phoenicia" – the present atlas volume and a text volume (see Kedem catalog 60, item 47).
