Welcome to the Semitic Inscriptions Website
Warning: your web browser is not Firefox!
The texts of our database might not be correctly displayed!

This website is a database of ancient texts written in Semitic languages and inscribed on various media: tablets, potteries, manuscripts, etc. It grants direct access to all kinds of information about these inscriptions: their origin, their age, their script... And of course, most importantly, the text itself, analyzed, translated, and annotated.

Our website uses fonts based on the Unicode standard, which is compatible with most recent systems (MacOS 10+ / Windows XP+ / Linux) as long as they run a good web browser; we highly recommend the free Firefox browser, since other browsers such as Internet Explorer display errors and don't handle a number of features. Moreover, some characters will not be correctly displayed on your screen if you don't have an appropriate Unicode font. Click here to see our recommendations.

Additional features (photographs, bibliographies, saving queries, instant messaging...) require registration: click here to register. Meanwhile, you can do the following:
