Corpus Inscriptionum Iudaeae/Palaestinae (CIIP) is a corpus of all ancient inscriptions from the fourth century BC to the seventh century CE discovered in Israel – i.e. “a multi-lingual corpus of the inscriptions from Alexander to Muhammad.”[1] Part 1 of Volume 1 was published in 2010, and Part 2 of Volume 1 in 2012.[1]
Inscriptions are in ten different languages, including Hebrew, ancient Greek, Latin, Phoenician, Aramaic, Syriac and Nabatean. The seven volume series documents inscriptions from Jerusalem, Caesarea and the northern coastal plain, Jaffa and the southern coastal plain, Ein Gedi and Masada, Galilee.[2]
The researchers partners are Prof. Hannah Cotton, Chair of Classics at the Hebrew University, Prof. Jonathan Price from Tel Aviv University and a team of German researchers led by Professors Werner Eck and Walter Ameling. The project was conceived and planned in 1997,[1] and is mostly funded by the German Research Foundation, which gave the project a million euros.
