Syro-Arabica (SyrAr). Issue 1
Chief Editors: Samir Khalil Samir • Juan Pedro Monferrer-Sala
Advisory Board: Sebastian Brock • Rifaat Ebied • Sidney H. Griffith • Herman Teule • Dorothea Weltecke
This volume collects some of the papers presented at the Third International Congress on Eastern Christianity, ‘Knowledge Transfer in the Mediterranean World’, which took place in Córdoba in December 2010. The aim of the conference was to provide an insight into the contact of cultures in the Mediterranean, from Antiquity to the Medieval period, especially in periods when and places where one of the agents of this contact was Christianity. The participating scholars work in various disciplines, periods, and geographical areas, and their encounter generated very fruitful discussions, even if (or perhaps because) their fields of studies were sometimes distant from each other.
The volume is divided into two sections. The first part deals with religious and cultural transfer from Antiquity and Late Antiquity in Egypt under the Greco-Roman and Coptic periods. The second section includes those papers related to several cultural trends all along the medieval Arab world and Ethiopia. The climate of exchange and dialogue that we enjoyed those winter days in Córdoba, is what we would like to be reflected in this book, a collection of essays which range from Ancient Egypt to medieval Al-Andalus.

Judaeo-Islamica (JI). Issue 1
Chief Editors: Gideon Bohak • María Ángeles Gallego
Advisory Board: Amira Bennison • Mohamed Hawari • Geoffrey Khan • Judith Olszowy-Schlanger • Michael Wechsler
This series is published by the University of Cordoba in co-operation with the Spanish High Council for Scientific Research (CSIC).
The history and culture of the Jews of al-Andalus and, very specially, their intellectual production in Judeo-Arabic, is the theme of this volume. The articles gathered in this book mostly consist of the revised versions of papers presented at the 13th Conference of the International Society of Judeo-Arabic Studies: Judeo-Arabic Culture in al-Andalus that took place at the University of Córdoba in 2007 and was convened by our colleagues María Angeles Gallego and Juan Pedro Monferrer. As always in SJAS the papers presented in this volume represents well established scholars side by side with the new generation of scholars, which proves that this subject is well progressing, and that Judeo-Arabic studies are here to stay. This is the first volume of the new publications series Judæo-Islamica, a new tool for the future development of the field. For this reason we welcome the iniciative and wish all the good luck to the editors.

Judaeo-Islamica (JI). Issue 2
Chief Editors: Gideon Bohak • María Ángeles Gallego
Advisory Board: Amira Bennison • Mohamed Hawari • Geoffrey Khan • Judith Olszowy-Schlanger • Michael Wechsler
This series is published by the University of Cordoba in co-operation with the Spanish High Council for Scientific Research (CSIC).
This book aims to contribute to better understand a divination technique, geomancy, that enjoyed great popularity during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The volume focuses on the complexity of this science and the mysteries of its origins, noting the great scope of its expansion and the richness of its texts as a source for the social history. The volume offers the transcription of unpublished manuscripts both in Hebrew and Arabic script, with a Spanish translation. A detailed description of other Arabic geomancy treaties in Hebrew script that have survived in several collections of Judaeo-Arabic manuscripts is also available in this book.

Arabica Veritas (AV)
Chief Editors: Charles Burnett • Pedro Mantas
Advisory Board: Alexander Fidora • Dag Nikolaus Hasse • José Meirinhos • David Nirenberg • Rafael Ramón Guerrero
Following the tracks of an expression borrowed from Stephen of Pisa and Antioch, the new Arabica Veritas series recalls the idea of the new or renovated knowledge that the Arabs bring to the Medieval Latin world. Arabica Veritas concerns the transmission of knowledge from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages, a philosophical, scientific and cultural exchange that compels Latin scholars to investigate – through translation and interpretation – philosophical and scientific works written or transmitted in Arabic.
The first volume of this series includes most of the papers and three recent articles presented at the International Seminar Transfer of Knowledge in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, held in the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Cordoba, as an opening academic activity of the CNERU.

Semitica Antiqva (SemAn)
Chief Editors: Juan Pedro Monferrer-Sala • Wilfred G. E. Watson
Advisory Board: Riccardo Contini • Federico Corriente • Olga Kapeliuk • Gregorio del Olmo • Andrzej Zaborski
The present volume includes most of the papers read at the 5th Meeting of the IACS, which was held in Cordoba in June 2012. The participating scholars worked in various languages, periods and geographical areas, and this occasion generated very fruitful and valuable discussion on several topics, as reflected in the contributions to this volume.
In many respects, the multiple viewpoints contained in this volume are necessarily tentative and are intended to focus on facets of the Semitic linguistic world which still merit further research. Additional factors investigated in other contributions have a bearing on specific topics of comparative Semitics.
This book is also the first volume in the new series Semitica Antiqva, published by ‘Oriens Academic’ within the framework of the Cordoba Near Eastern Research Unit (CNRU) of the Faculty of Humanities, University of Cordoba, in collaboration with the Department of Theology and Religion of Durham University.
We hope that, right from the start, the series will become a forum for discussion and dialogue among scholars involved in studying the Near East across the centuries.

Semitica Antiqva (SemAn)
Chief Editors: Juan Pedro Monferrer-Sala • Wilfred G. E. Watson
Advisory Board: Riccardo Contini • Federico Corriente • Olga Kapeliuk • Gregorio del Olmo
These studies have been arranged under four main headings: 1. Classification of the Semitic Languages, with particular focus on the language situation of the second millennium Syria as a turning-point for the development of the West and South-Eastern branches of the Semitic family; 2. Functor morphematics, centred on the origin and function of the primary prepositions (b, k, l) and the basic postpositions (-m, -y); 3. Lexicography, first from a theoretical point of view (the basic structure of the Semitic lexicon) and then from the particular perspectives of the series of the monosyllabic functors and of the two closed series of personal pronouns and numerals; 4. Etymological Semantics: this heading comprises three practical exercises in context-etymological semantics, lexical etymological semantics and derivative expansive lexicography; The miscellany closes with a kind of appendix on the work of the little-known Spanish linguist Ángel Amor Ruibal, as an exponent of the beginnings of comparative linguistic studies.
