Editing Moab (section)

===19th-century travellers===
Early modern travellers in the region included [[Ulrich Jasper Seetzen]] (1805), [[Johann Ludwig Burckhardt]] (1812), [[Charles Leonard Irby]] and [[James Mangles (Royal Navy officer)|James Mangles]] (1818), and [[Louis Félicien de Saulcy]] (1851).<ref>{{cite book |editor1=George Ernest Wright |editor2=Frank Moore Cross |editor3=Edward Fay Campbell |title=The Biblical Archaeologist |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vcslAQAAIAAJ |year=1997 |publisher=American Schools of Oriental Research |chapter=Ancient Moab: Still Largely Unknown |first=Max |last=Miller |volume=60 |issue=4 |pages=194–204 |doi=10.2307/3210621 |jstor=3210621 |s2cid=163824020 |quote=Among the travellers who traversed the whole Moabite plateau including Moab proper prior to 1870 and whose published observations deserve special mention are Ulrich Seetzen (1805), Ludwig Burckhardt (1812), Charles Irby and James Mangles (1818), and Louis de Saulcy (1851). Both Seetzen and Burckhardt died during the course of their travels, and their travel journals were edited and published posthumously by editors who did not always understand the details. Burckhardt's journal was published first, in 1822, and served as the basis for the Moab segment of Edward Robinson's map of Palestine published in 1841. |access-date=2018-03-19 |archive-date=2020-08-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200806033730/https://books.google.com/books?id=vcslAQAAIAAJ |url-status=live }}</ref>
