An edition of new Nabataean inscriptions from Umm al-Jimāl

Recent discoveries at Umm Al-Jimāl, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Jordan's north-eastern Badia, have uncovered six new Nabataean inscriptions. These inscriptions, carved in the square or monumental script, represent a significant addition to the known corpus of Nabataean epigraphy. The findings provide valuable insights into the language and culture of the Nabataeans, a people renowned for their architectural and artistic achievements during the Roman period. The study, conducted by al-Zoubi, al-Manaser, and Hazza (2022), contributes to the broader understanding of Nabataean civilization through meticulous documentation and analysis of these newly discovered texts.
