Rostem Osman R. Rock inscriptions in the Hijâz: A report

Institut français d'archéologie orientale, 1948. — 40 p. — (Supplément aux Annales du Service des antiquités de l'Egypte 8).Some authorities on Semitic languages have recently expressed their· doubt about the existence of pre-Islamic inscriptions in the central Hijaz . During my visits to that country in 1935 and 1936 I saw many inscriptions in various places. Thinking that they may be of interest to scholars of these languages I copied and photographed as many as I could. I was also able to procure from friends some copies and photos of inscriptions found in places I co uld not visit myself.
