| Summary: | The authors investigate the transmission history of two remarkable poetic compositions in the Modern South Arabian language Soqotri (the island Soqotra, Yemen). First published by D.H. Müller in the beginning of the twentieth century, they were recorded and studied anew by Naumkin more than seventy years later and then jointly by the authors of the present contribution in the course of their intensive fieldwork on the island in 2010-2012. The new editions are extensively annotated grammatically and lexically, whereas the Soqotri text is published not only in Semitological transcription, but also in Arabic script. A detailed comparative study of Müller's and Naumkin's versions of the poems concludes the article. |
