Corpus Inscriptionum Arabicarum Palaestinae — Addendum: Squeezes in the Max Van Berchem Collection (Palestine, Trans-jordan, Northern Syria) Squeezes 1 - 84

Squeezes are reproductions of inscriptions, many of which have already disappeared. Those in the Max van Berchem archives in Geneva are mostly but not entirely from within Palestine, and were made during the late 19th century under very difficult conditions often using primitive paper that was unsuitable but the only paper available. Sharon photographs them in ways that reveal them best, and provides information about their contents, epigraphic context, and historical background.
