UMM EL-JIMAL RESEARCH AND PUBLICATION BY OTHERS PRIOR TO 1972Partial survey work was done by the Princeton University Expedition to South Syria in 1904-5 directed by H. C. Butler. The result was superb publications of both the architecture and the inscriptions in the Publications of the Princeton University Archaeological Expeditions to Syria in 1904-5 and 1909 (H. C. Butler, Ancient Architecture in Syria, Division II, Section A, Part 3, Umm Idj-Djimal, 1913; E. Littmann et al., Greek and Latin Inscriptions in Syria, Division III, Section A, Part 3, Umm idj-Djimal, 1913; E. Littmann, Semitic Inscriptions, Division IV, Section A, Nabataean Inscriptions, "Umm idj-Djimal," 1913, pp. 34-56). Nelson Glueck included Umm el-Jimal in his study of the extent of Nabataean influence in Syria in Explorations in Eastern Palestine, IV, Part I, 1951, pp. 1-34. In 1956 G. U. S. Corbett did a detailed study of the Julianos Church from which he concluded convincingly that Butler's naming and dating of the church in the Fourth Century is based on a reused funerary inscription and therefore incorrect ("Investigations at the 'Julianos' Church at Umm el-Jimal," The Papers of the British School at Rome, Vol. XXV, 1957, pp. 39-66). |
