Austria, and especially Vienna, has been a fruitful environment for Ancient South Arabian studies, and this is strongly connected with the person and work of Eduard Glaser. The Austrian Academy of Sciences hosts in its archive a large collection of squeezes, photographs, and diaries by Glaser, which served in the last decades as a source for eminent scholars such as Maria Höfner and Walter Dostal. In the Library, Archive and Collections at the AAS, the team around Petra Aigner achieved in two digitization projects the presentation of astonishing source material in the AAS, now accessible via http://glaser.acdh.oeaw.ac.at/. Due to the manifold activities of Petra Aigner and her team, Ronald Ruzicka and George Hatke were able to organize the 23 Rencontres Sabéennes in Vienna, which took place from 13–15 June 2019. The title Out of Arabia: South Arabian Long-Distance Trade in Antiquity shows how the conference aimed to incorporate the Arabian Peninsula in the wider historical picture of political and economic relations in Antiquity. It was the first time that the Rencontres Sabéennes had convened in Vienna, paying tribute to the lively research on South Arabian Studies in the past and the present. The conference was organized by George Hatke and Ronald Ruzicka, who are also the editors of the present volume. The conference profited from the cooperation of the University of Vienna and the Institute of Oriental Studies, the Institute of Social Anthropology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the ACDH of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, Digital Humanities Austria, and the Project ArcheoMuse. The conference enjoyed the attendance of participants from Austria, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, the USA, Jordan, and last but not least, Yemen. Organizing the travel to Austria for our guests from Yemen was made possible due to the indefatigable efforts of the organizing committee. The keynote speech to the conference by Mohammed Maraqten opened the field with a talk about (cid:55)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:51)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:74)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:80)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:36)(cid:90)(cid:407)(cid:80)(cid:3)(cid:55)(cid:72)(cid:80)(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:18)(cid:48)(cid:68)(cid:1738)ram (cid:37)(cid:76)(cid:79)(cid:84)(cid:431)(cid:86)(cid:15)(cid:3)(cid:48)(cid:68)(cid:182)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:69)(cid:15)(cid:3)Yemen. The conference consisted of 32 lectures on various fields like archaeology, architecture, philology, epigraphy, ancient South Arabian history, and the history of scholarship. Twenty of the lectures are now collected in this volume, giving fresh insight to a field marginalized for South Arabian Long-Distance Trade in Antiquity: “Out of Arabia” ix a long period of time. The volume will help to shed light on a fascinating region. As members of the Library, Archive and Collections at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, we are deeply satisfied that the holdings of our institution have triggered projects and scholarship on Ancient South Arabia in the past; our hope is that the present volume will kindle more to come.
