SUMMARY:Seminar: “Pre-Islamic Epigraphy and the Context of the Quran” with Ahmad Al-Jallad\, Princeton University\, March 17\, 2025 @ 12:00 – 1:20 pm
DESCRIPTION:The past several years have witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of documented Paleo-Arabic inscriptions from the Higaz\, ranging from the region of Tabük to Ta’if. Many of these texts contain substantial content that shed light on the religious background of their authors. The aim of this talk is to bring this material in conversation with the Quran and early literary sources to bring us towards an evidence-based reconstruction of the religious landscape of the Higaz on the eve of Islam. \nAhmad Al-Jallad is a philologist\, epigraphist\, and historian of language. \nHis work focuses on the languages\, writing systems\, history\, and cultures of pre-Islamic Arabia and the ancient Near East. \nTime: Monday\, March 17\, 2025\, at 12:00 – 1:20 pm \nVenue: 202 Jones Hall \nFree and open to the public.
