EPIGRAPHY IN ARAB MUSLIM CONTEXT: PRACTICES AND CONTENTS
HIRRECHE BAGHDAD MOHAMED, 2018
This text is part of three research projects dealing with the state of epigraphy in Arab-Muslim eras and more particularly in Algeria. The first is a Crasc project entitled: "the inscriptions on funerary steles in western Algeria: permanence and evolution". The second is a National Research Project (PNR) entitled: "the funerary inscriptions in Ain El Beida in Oran and M'douha in Tizi-ouzou". Finally, the third is a Crasc project entitled: "obituary and print media in Algeria: components and characteristics". These research projects promoted observation, transcription and collection of inscriptions. The interviews and the collection of the stories and testimonies helped us to understand the meaning of the practices. In order to give an account of the evolution of these inscriptions, we consulted the specialized works in the field of epigraphy.
The decline of the epigraphic habit in late antique Arabia_some questions
In the first millennium BC and the first three centuries AD vast numbers of monumental inscriptions and graffiti were carved in western Arabia. However, in late antiquity, what has been called the 'epigraphic habit' appears to have declined sharply in all parts of the Peninsula. This paper examines some of the possible implications of this decline. It also looks at what can be discovered about the levels of literacy in different parts of the Peninsula during this period, and the relationships between languages which appear to have remained purely spoken and those which were written. Au I er millénaire avant J.-C. et durant les trois premiers siècles de l'ère chrétienne, un grand nombre d'inscriptions monumentales et de graffiti ont été gravés en Arabie occidentale. Mais au cours de l'Antiquité tardive, cette apparente "tradition épigraphique" semble sensiblement décliner dans les différents points de la Péninsule. Cette contribution se penche sur les implications possibles de ce déclin. Elle cherche également à mettre en lumière le niveau de pénétration de la pratique de l'écrit dans les différentes régions de la péninsule Arabique durant cette période, ainsi que les rapports entre les langues qui seraient restées uniquement parlées et celles qui furent écrites.
A Study of south Arabian Inscriptions from the region of Dhamar (Yemen)
2012
This thesis presents the results of the epigraphic surveys conducted by the author in the region of Dhamar (Yemen). The 120 Ancient South Arabian Sabaic inscriptions presented here are a selection of the documentation found in many sites. They include unpublished and some other published texts, which needed some corrections. The edition of the text (preliminary information, transcription, translation and comment) is preceded by an introduction on the geography of the region and a description of the sites. The inscriptions have been divided in five chapters, chronologically arranged as follows: 8th/7th - 5th century BC, 4th -end of the 1st century BC, beginning of the 1st - mid-2nd century AD, mid-2nd - beginning of the 4th century AD (most of these inscriptions were engraved in the 2nd half of the 2nd century AD), beginning of the 4th - mid-6th century AD. Each chapter is followed by a historical and linguistic analysis, which highlights the new important data with which these inscr...
