The Seminar for Arabian Studies is the only international academic forum which meets annually for the presentation of research in the humanities on the Arabian Peninsula. It focuses particularly on the fields of archaeology, architecture, art, epigraphy, ethnography, history, language, linguistics, literature, and numismatics from the earliest times to the present day. A wide range of papers presented at the Seminar is published in the Proceedings of the Seminar for Arabian Studies in time for the following Seminar, reflecting the dynamism and scope of this international, interdisciplinary event.
