Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Introduction -- Preliminary Remarks -- The dialects of Old South Arabic remain a little-studied branch of the Semitic language family, despite the fact that thousands of texts in Sabaean, Minaean, Qatabanian and Hadramitic have been published, ranging in type from brief graffiti to substantial historical annals. The lack of attention here-tofore paid to these languages has been due largely to the difficulty of access to the texts, and to the absence of even the most basic critical tools, such as dictionaries and concordances, to aid in their study. Since the Second World War a focusing of interest on modern Arabia has led to an expansion of the corpus of Old South Arabian texts available to scholars and, at last, to the preparation of certain essential guides to this material. -- Most basic, perhaps, are two concordances, the first prepared by G. Lankester Harding, published in his Index and concordance of pre-Islamic names and inscriptions ( Toronto, 1971 ) . This publication solves one of the most frustrating problems in the field of Old South Arabic philology: the fact that, typically, any long-known inscription has been edited several times and is citable by several names. The Harding concordance" provides a cross-reference system to identify these many-named texts for the student and guide him to their various editions. Similar and supplemental to this is the concordance published by A. Avanzini in the first volume (pp.19-185) of her Glossaire des inscriptions de I'Arabie du Sud, 1950-1973 ( Florence: Istituto ; di Lingue Orientali, 1977 ) , treating much of the more recently-published materiaI.
