Historical background

Byblos on the coast of today's Lebanon is one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns in the world. As a Phoenician port it supplied cedar wood to Egypt and traded in papyrus, which is why the Greeks named the book, "biblos", after it. One of the earliest forms of the Phoenician alphabet was found here.
