First published in 1912, A History of Civilization in Palestine was written by the scholar and archeologist R. A. S. Macalister. The book follows the development and course of civilization in the region from the time of its earliest inhabitancy till the beginning of the twentieth century.

R.S. Macalister (Robert Stawell Macalister) was a prominent Irish archaeologist and philologist who played a significant role in the study and publication of ancient Irish texts. He is well-known for his work in translating and analyzing various medieval Irish texts, and is particularly notable for his work on the Lebor Gabála Érenn (The Book of the Invasions of Ireland).

Macalister published a critical and translated edition of Lebor Gabála Érenn in 1909, which became an important reference for scholars of Irish literature and mythology. His version is one of the most influential in the field of Celtic studies, as it provided a complete translation of the original Gaelic Irish text into English, accompanied by explanatory notes and detailed analyses of the mythological and historical content.
