The Aramaic graffiti from Hatra (North Iraq) can make an invaluable contribution in this sense, distributed as they were in various buildings throughout this city which flourished between the 1st and the 3rd century AD. Thanks to an effective interaction between epigraphy and archaeology, Marco Moriggi and Ilaria Bucci offer a thorough analysis of the Aramaic graffiti from Hatra as documented by the Archive of the Missione Archeologica Italiana (Turin). In addition to the edition of 48 published and 37 unpublished graffiti, this study further includes the concordances of numbers of all Hatran texts published so far and full archaeological information about the graffiti.

In A Corpus of Syriac Incantation Bowls, Marco Moriggi presents new editions of forty-nine Syriac incantation bowls that were originally published between 1853 and 2012, with accompanying introductions, translations, philological notes, photographs and glossaries. Furthermore, there is a detailed analysis of the Estrangela and Manichaean scripts as used on the bowls, together with newly drawn script charts. In gathering, organising and updating most of the published Syriac bowls, this book provides a valuable resource for further research into both their language and content.

The impossibility of surveying the existing material in situ has led scholars to seek information about Hatran inscriptions in archives of foreign missions working on the site. In this contribution some new evidence found in the archive of the Italian Archaeological Mission at Hatra (Turin, Italy) is used to discuss previous readings of published Hatran graffiti. The study also addresses two main issues of Hatran Aramaic epigraphy: the numeration of the texts and the need for photographic documentation in order to thoroughly check the contents and readings published until the present day.
