Inscripciones árabes inéditas en el Museo Provincial de Almería

Abstract

This paper is a study of twenty-five unpublished fragments pertaining to nineteen Arabic inscriptions, some published previously, preserved in the Provincial Museum of Almería. All are from Almería, although their precise provenance is unknown except in two cases. Most of them, thirteen inscriptions, are funeral; two are commemorative and four are decorative. They date from the second quarter of the tenth century to the twelfth century, though most are from the Almoravid period, a period of intense economic development in Almería.
