Examination topics
At the end of the semester, students will be given a take-home exam. This exam will consist of a photograph of an Ancient South Arabian inscription. Each student must produce a transliteration and a translation of this inscription. It is permissible to use any dictionaries or grammars, as well as any power-points from "Einführung in das Altsüdarabische I". More information on the exam will be given towards the end of the semester.
Reading list
Since we've finished the material covered in Peter Stein's "Sabäisches Lehrbuch" last semester, we will not be using any further textbooks this semester. That said, students may still wish to refer back to Stein's textbook when working through the texts assigned in class. The texts in question will consist of authentic Ancient South Arabian inscriptions, mostly in Sabaic, but also in Qatabanic, Minaic, and Hadramitic.
