Summary of the ancient history of the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern nations. After high-school history textbooks of modern times and the Middle Ages it would be logical to introduce online textbook on the history of the ancient world. The author - Pavel Gavrilovich Vinogradov (1854-1925) - the largest Russian historian, Professor, Department of General History of the Moscow University (1884-1902, 1908-1911), professor of jurisprudence at Oxford University (1903). Vinogradov is a leading global medievalists, one of the largest specialists in the social history of medieval England. His work is distinguished by a thorough systematic and critical study of the sources and literature. Encyclopedic Dictionary Brockhaus and Efron Vinogradova describes as "an excellent university teacher." His lectures and seminars on the history of ancient Greece and medieval history of the continental attracted a lot of listeners. Lively interest in Russian high school, Vinogradov wrote his famous "Textbook of World History", has been widely used. Vinogradov said: "The proposed tutorial is to counter one significant drawback of modern teaching - his fragmentary and incoherence." The first section of the textbook tells about the ancient history of the East (Egypt, Babylon, Assyria, Media, Persia, and Phoenicia), the second section entirely devoted to ancient Greece, and the third - Ancient Rome. The history of Israel and Judah was deliberately omitted by the author - not to interfere with the individual course of Old Testament history.
