Western Palestine is rich in Arabic inscriptions, whose dates range from as early as AD 150 until modern times. Most of the inscriptions date from the Islamic period, for under Islam the country gained a particular religious and strategic importance, even though it made up only part of the larger province of Syria. This historical importance is clearly reflected in the hundreds of inscriptions, the texts of which cover a variety ot topics: construction, dedication, religious endowments, epitaphs, Qur’anic texts and prayer and invocations. These are all now assembled in the Corpus Inscrip

Their supreme head today is the Agha Khan. In this mesmerising book, Heinz Halm describes the early history of the Fatimids, from the founding and spread of the secret society to the rise of the caliphal dynasty to power in North Africa and the founding of Cairo, their capital.

This work does not aim to be an etymological dictionary of Qur’anic Arabic, nor does it attempt to suggest some new genetic classification of the Semitic languages.

The work is based on a quantitative analysis of a substantial corpus of the Arabic lexicon with a view to investigating lexical relationships within a number of Semitic languages. Qur’anic Arabic is the source of a lexical mass comparison exercise involving Akkad
