Corpus of South Arabian inscriptions I-III : Qatabanic, Marginal Qatabanic, Awsanite inscriptions

Abstract

This volume is an organized collection of inscriptions in Qatabanic, Marginal Qatabanic and Awsanite language which have been set in the on line database of Corpus of South Arabian Inscriptions (CSAI).\n\nThe plan includes an historical-linguistical introduction of the corpus and an edition of the texts with translation (except for the fragmentary texts). \n\nWithin each section, the texts are split by text typology into four major subgroups: construction inscriptions, dedicatory inscriptions, legal inscriptions and anthroponyms. In the section dedicated to anthroponyms the author has attempted to incorporate texts which were also conceived by the ancient author as being simple onomastic texts, such as those found on funeral stelas and on the statuettes. Within each textual typology the inscriptions are subdivided into chronological phases, except texts containing anthroponyms, which are listed with no chronological classification.
