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

    No full text
    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). The plan includes an historical-linguistical introduction of the corpus and an edition of the texts with translation (except for the fragmentary texts). Within 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

    Ancient South Arabian within Semitic, and Sabaic within Ancient South Arabian

    The second issue of Quaderni di Arabia Antica reviews a recent theory put forward by P. Stein. This theory is based on the hypothesis, initially presented by N. Nebes in 2001, on the relationships between Sabaic and the North-West Semitic, and between Sabaic and non-Sabaic languages in southern Arabia. Contrary to the two German scholars, the author maintains that the endogenous formation model for ASA culture and languages is more coherent with the linguistic and archaeological data known today

    Origin and classification of the Ancient South Arabian Languages

    No full text
    ASA (= Ancient South Arabian) documentation is testimony to a lengthy linguistic history in southern Arabia which predates the earliest written attestations. The hypothesis attributing the origin of ASA culture to immigration from the north is hard to endorse. The QAT (= Qatabanic) verb system and ASA more in general have strong parallels with the verb system of the north west of the second millennium. Just as the hypothesis of a recent wave of immigration to south Arabia is open to debate, so must the general idea of an ASA belonging to central Semitic as opposed to archaic southern Semitic be re-examined
