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. Muller'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.
