... that Bochart's 1646 Geographia Sacra seu Phaleg et Canaan(1708 edition pictured) was the first full-length book devoted to the Phoenicians? Source: Burman, Annie; Boyes, Philip J. (2021-10-01). "When the Phoenicians Were Swedish: Rudbeck's Atlantica and Phoenician Studies". The Journal of the American Oriental Society. 141 (4): 749–767. ISSN0003-0279. The first full-length work devoted to the Phoenicians was Samuel Bochart's Geographia Sacra (1646)... In many ways, the Geographia Sacra sets the pattern for the predominant modes of engagement with the Phoenicians to this day: focus on their maritime voyages and impact on the classical world on the one hand; the Phoenician language's linguistic and philological relationship with Greek and Hebrew on the other.
