The Illustrated Bible Dictionary,{{refn|group=n|Full title: Illustrated Bible Dictionary and Treasury of Biblical History, Biography, Geography, Doctrine, and Literature with Numerous Illustrations and Important Chronological Tables and Maps.^[1] better known as Easton's Bible Dictionary, is a reference work on topics related to the Christian Bible compiled by Matthew George Easton. The first edition was published in 1893^[1] and a revised edition was published the next year.^[2] The most popular edition, however, was the third, which was published in 1897, three years after Easton's death.^[3] The last contains nearly 4,000 entries relating to the Bible from a 19th-century perspective. Many of the entries in Easton's are encyclopedic in nature, though there are also short, dictionary-like entries. Because of its age, it is now a public domain resource.
