Soqotra, Mahra, and Dhofar
For the first time in the history of Semitic studies, this volume is devoted entirely to Modern South Arabian (MSA) as a unified linguistic and cultural entity. The three principal regions inhabited by MSA speakers—Mahra and Dhofar on the Arabian mainland, and the island of Soqotra—are comprehensively represented. The contributions span a broad thematic range, including cultural history, field sociology, and, above all, linguistics (both synchronic and diachronic), alongside the rich oral traditions of MSA-speaking communities.
African Migrations
For centuries the people of Africa have been on the move, seeking new opportunities, fleeing from dangers, or tragically uprooted through human greed and cruelty.

Corpus of Soqotri Oral Literature
Four years after the publication of the Corpus of Soqotri Oral Literature, volume I (Brill, 2014), this volume present the second installment of the Corpus. Inspired by D.H. Müller’s pioneering studies of the 1900s, the authors publish a large body of folklore and ethnographic texts in Soqotri. The language is spoken by more than 100,000 people inhabiting the island Soqotra (Gulf of Aden, Yemen). Soqotri is among the most archaic Semitic languages spoken today, whereas the oral literature of the islanders is a mine of original motifs and plots. Texts appear in transcription, English and Arabic translations, and the Arabic-based native script. Philological annotations deal with grammatical, lexical and literary features, as well as realia. The Glossary accumulates all words attested in the volume. The Plates provide a glimpse into the fascinating landscapes of the island and the traditional lifestyle of its inhabitants.
