Inscriptiones Judaicae Orientis

The Mohr Siebeck announces the publication of the following work (German description here):
Ameling, Walter,
Inscriptiones Judaicae Orientis Vol. 2: Kleinasien
2004. ca. 668 pages (Texts and Studies in Ancient Judaism 99)
ISBN 3-16-148196-8 cloth € 119.00

Description:
This book collects all known Jewish inscriptions from the Graeco-Roman period (up to c.700 CE), in Asia Minor. It provides the mainly Greek texts of the inscriptions with German translations together with full bibliographies, discussions and indexes. The previous collection, Corpus Inscriptionum Judaicarum, published 1936-50, has been superseded by the discovery of more inscriptions, and over half the inscriptions included in this new collection were not in CIJ.

To all of us who are used to the Corpus Inscriptionum Judaicarum, this is great news. The bad news is the price of the volume: 119 euro means 147 USD...
