Reseña del editor:

In the first of four "Documentation for Ancient Arabia" volumes, which together will provide interested scholars and students with an essential set of "tools" or works of reference, Professor Kitchen discusses the chronology of ancient Arabia. Previously, the chronology has only been available in scattered sources and this work provides a much-needed comprehensive treatment of this theme. For eastern Arabia, Professor Kitchen gives a useful summary of the chronological evidence, which is mainly in the form of archaeological discovery rather than written historical source materials. His treatment of western Arabia is, however, far more extensive and may be described as a "tour de force". Drawing on the fullest possible range of inscriptions and other documentary historical source material, as well as on existing research, Professor Kitchen comprehensively re-examines the present textual corpus and archaeological evidence to provide an invaluable chronological framework for scholars and students of ancient Arabia. Four chapters cover western Arabia and a fifth draws together existing knowledge of eastern Arabia. For the ancient kingdom of both east and west, a list of historical sources is included, reign by reign, excluding those regimes known only from coins or from later tradition. Full king-lists are included as well as an index of rulers.
