The 'Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum' (Corpus of Semitic Inscriptions - CIS) is a collection of ancient inscriptions in Semitic languages produced since the end of 2nd millennium BCE until the rise of Islam.
Part IV of the collection covers the Ancient South Arabian inscriptions and was first published in 1889.
The first volume contains the inscriptions and explanatory notes Eduard Glaser had collected during his first journey to Yemen (1882-1884) on behalf of the 'Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres', as well as inscriptions on original stones which were acquired by the British Museum and the Royal Museums in Berlin.
