The thousands of surviving inscriptions in Middle Aramaic (e.g., in
the Nabataean, Syriac and Palmyrene dialects) are an underused
resource in the study of the Near East in the Roman period,
especially in the study of religion and law. Particularly important
was the emergence during this period of new peoples with their
cultural roots in Arabia, such as the Nabataeans. This volume
collects together, under the interrelated themes of religion and
law, twenty-three articles by John Healey, with sections on "Petra
and Nabataean Aramaic", "Edessa and Early Syriac" and "Aramaic and
Society in the Roman Near East". Individual papers discuss the
continuation of "Ancient Near Eastern" culture, the Aramaic legal
tradition as well as the development of both written and spoken
forms of Syriac and Nabatean.
