About this title

Synopsis

Tayma' III presents a catalogue of the inscriptions which were kept in the Tayma' Museum until 2017 as well as all known inscriptions from Tayma' in other collections, such as the National Museum in Riyad and the Musee du Louvre in Paris. The catalogue contains 102 inscriptions from the Tayma' Museum in various languages and scripts, as well as 29 other inscriptions. Michael C.A. Macdonald has not only edited the volume, but also the inscriptions in Imperial Aramaic, Tayma' Aramaic, Nabataean, and the Taymanitic language and script. With Peter Stein's updated reading of the Tayma' stone and Jerome Norris' new edition of the Qasr al-Hamra stele, the two most important monuments for the religious history of Tayma' in the mid-1st millennium BC are also included in this volume. Frederic Imbert has edited the Arabic inscriptions from the Tayma' Museum. The indices contain the words and names of all known texts from the Tayma' oasis, i.e. those discovered during the Saudi-German excavations between 2004 and 2015 (published in Tayma' II, including the cuneiform inscriptions of King Nabonidus of Babylon) and those edited in this volume. With these two volumes of the Tayma' excavation series, all currently accessible inscriptions that originate from this major north-west Arabian oasis, or very likely from there, are published in printed and digital form.
