The work was published simultaneously in England, the United States (dedicated to Moses Stuart) and Germany (dedicated to Carl Ritter).{{sfn|King|1983|p=232}} The work identified numerous Biblical localities for the first time, as well as significant Jerusalem archaeological sites such as Robinson's Arch (subsequently named for the author), and undertook the first scientific surveys of other sites such as the Siloam tunnel.[1] Field workRobinson made two journeys to Palestine. The first began on 12 March 1838 in Cairo, reached Jerusalem on 14 April, toured Arabia Petrea in May, arrived in Nazareth on 17 June, and ended in Beirut on 27 June;{{sfn|Hitchcock|Smith|1863|p=68}} The second began on 5 April 1852 in Beirut, where he arrived back again 19 June 1852 having explored much of Northern Palestine.{{sfn|Hitchcock|Smith |1863|p=71}} LegacyThe work has been described as a "cornerstone of nineteenth century Palestine exploration".{{sfn|Goldman|2004|p=215}} Earlier descriptions had relied on the accounts of travellers and legends, whereas Robinson and his guide and translator Eli Smith relied on only what they saw for themselves.{{sfn|Goldman|2004|p=157}} Albrecht Alt described the work as "epoch-making", and in describing the influence of the work in dispelling previously accepted knowledge of the region, stated: "he was able definitively to disprove a large part of what his predecessors had thought and had written. In Robinson's footnotes are forever buried the errors of many generations".{{sfn|Alt|1939|pp=373–374}} Professor Thomas W. Davis noted that "all later archaeological research in Palestine is in some way indebted to [Robinson]. His geographical study marked a new era".[2] In a study of nineteenth century Biblical Studies in the United States, Jerry Wayne Brown described Robinson's work as "the most significant piece of American Biblical scholarship before the Civil War".[3] References1. ^{{cite book|last=Currid|first=John D.|title=Doing Archaeology in the Land of the Bible: A Basic Guide|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TwgOtkW7hFoC&pg=PA25|year=1999|publisher=Baker Academic|isbn=978-0-8010-2213-5|page=25}} 2. ^{{cite book|last=Davis|first=Thomas W.|title=Shifting Sands: The Rise and Fall of Biblical Archaeology|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pwTiBwAAQBAJ&pg=PT25|date=4 March 2004|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=978-0-19-029045-0|pages=25–}} 3. ^{{cite book|author=Jerry Wayne Brown|title=The Rise of Biblical Criticism in America, 1800-1870: The New England Scholars|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=37nYAAAAMAAJ|year=1969|publisher=Wesleyan University Press|page=118}}; quoted in Jennifer Axsom Adler (2015), The Other Witness: Nineteenth-century American Protestantism and the Material Gospel Theology, p. 26 Bibliography
