Arabia Felix from the Time of the Queen of Sheba by Jean-Francois Breton

Arabia Felix from the Time of the Queen of Sheba by Jean-Francois Breton

Sheba, or Saba, was a region of high mountains and vast desert situated in the southwest of the Arabian peninsula, in present-day Yemen. This work provides an overview of this remote civilization, the uniqueness of the region's geography and climate, and major events that shaped its history.

“[A] much needed contribution to the ancient Near East for the English-speaking worldWhat Jean-François Breton has produced is an impressive introductory account of our current state of knowledge of Yemen's history in the first millennium B.C. that is complementary to studies of the ancient Orient, and that will provide a more complete picture. . . . [H]is account is fresh, lively, and lucid. Breton is readable and reliable, and as fine an introduction to South Arabia as is now available in English.” —The Historian

Jean-François Breton is a researcher at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and has led many important archeological expeditions in Yemen.
