This paper follows the stages of the construction of legends about pre-Islamic Yemeni rulers’ gestae in Arab-Islamic historiography and literature, pointing out how narrative material of the Islamic conquests possibly contributed in this construction. The given examples concern specifically the story of Šammar Yurʿiš, the king of ancient Yemen well-known from epigraphic sources, and their presumptive raids and conquests in Central Asia, as exposed by South-Arabian historiographers from ʿAbīd b. Šariyya to Našwān al-Ḥimyarī.

Abstract
This paper follows the stages of the construction of legends about pre-Islamic Yemeni rulers’ gestae in Arab-Islamic historiography and literature, pointing out how narrative material of the Islamic conquests possibly contributed in this construction. The given examples concern specifically the story of Šammar Yurʿiš, the king of ancient Yemen well-known from epigraphic sources, and their presumptive raids and conquests in Central Asia, as exposed by South-Arabian historiographers from ʿAbīd b. Šariyya to Našwān al-Ḥimyarī.File in questo prodotto:
