Julius Euting : Diary of a Journey Through Inner Arabia, 1883-1884

Julius Euting (1839–1913), a pioneering German scholar, made significant contributions to Punic, Hebrew, and Aramaic studies. In 1883, he embarked on a perilous expedition to northern Arabia with Charles Huber, aiming to collect ancient texts and investigate archaeological sites. Despite a strained relationship between the two men, Euting's detailed notebooks—rich with observations, anecdotes, and original watercolours—provide a crucial record of Aramaic and Nabataean inscriptions.

This book presents Euting's work in English for the first time, featuring his artwork alongside an introduction by William Facey. Facey's commentary re-evaluates Euting's role in the discovery of the Tayma Stele and contextualises his remarkable journey within the broader landscape of 19th-century Arabian exploration.
