Destacando su relevancia para los estudios orientalistas y el análisis de los pueblos preislámicos, la obra llena un vacío en la historiografía de la Nabatea, tema que ha permanecido pendiente entre los especialistas. A menudo, los estudiosos se han centrado en la publicación de hallazgos aislados sin ofrecer una síntesis crítica del reino nabateo. El presente texto resalta el valor académico de este libro en el contexto hispanohablante, en especial en México, al posicionarlo como fuente indispensable para el estudio de este fascinante periodo histórico.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: This article reviews and assesses Carmen Blánquez&#8217;s Petra and the Nabataean Kingdom, a unique work in Spanish that comprehensively addresses various aspects of Nabataean society. Highlighting its relevance for Orientalist studies and the analysis of pre-Islamic peoples, the work fills a gap in the historiography of Nabatea, a topic that has been neglected by specialists. Scholars have often focused on publishing isolated discoveries without providing a critical synthesis of the Nabataean kingdom. This text emphasizes the academic value of this book within the Spanish-speaking context, particularly in Mexico, positioning it as an essential source for the study of this fascinating historical period.]]></p></abstract>
