Répertoire d'Épigraphie sémitique (abbreviated RES ) was a publication in which inscriptions were published in Semitic languages . It was launched in 1899 by the Commission of the Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum (CIS) under the umbrella of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres .

The original plan was to publish all known inscriptions as part of the Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum . Due to the large number of new finds, the Répertoire d'Épigraphie sémitique was published parallel to the Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum in order to be able to continuously publish the new finds and research results. Its conception was based on the Ephemeris Epigraphica , in which supplements to the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum were published in the sense of supplement volumes .

The entries follow the scheme:

  1. Indication of the entry in the Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum or in a previous sub-volume of the Répertoire d'Épigraphie sémitique
  2. Bibliography for the inscription
  3. Transcription of the inscription in Hebrew script
  4. Translation and commentary

Since the third section of the Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum , in which Hebrew inscriptions were to be developed, did not come about, these were only systematically published in Répertoire d'Épigraphie sémitique .

The first partial volume appeared in 1900 under the direction of Charles Simon Clermont-Ganneau , then assistant to Jean-Baptiste Chabot , the following volumes were edited by Jean-Baptiste Chabot himself. After Chabot's death in 1948, Jacques Ryckmans took over the management of the project, who was responsible for the volumes from volume five. A total of eight volumes had been published by 1968.
