Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

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. Müller’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.
