Abstract
This article reviews and assesses Carmen Blánquez’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.
