Abstract: This article examines recent studies and contributions on the Phoenician stele of Nora, an artefact that has been the subject of great debate for over two hundred years of scholarship. The aim is to delve into the contents of the recent meticulous study by Roberto Casti, who provides a comprehensive historiography on the stele as well as his own reading and interpretation of its Phoenician inscription (La Stele di Nora. Scavo di un Testo Archeologico, 2019). The discussion further includes recent papers and highlights provided by epigraphists and archaeologists alike on the intriguing inscription, with special focus on the recent contributions by Paul G. Mosca and Émile Puech, with the aim of putting these studies into their research framework within Phoenician epigraphy and archaeology, especially at the site of Nora in Sardinia.
Aquest article examina estudis i aportacions recents sobre l’estela fenícia de Nora, un artefacte que ha estat objecte d’un gran debat durant més de dos-cents anys d’erudició. L’objectiu és aprofundir en el contingut del recent i minuciós estudi de Roberto Casti, que ofereix una exhaustiva historiografia sobre l’estela, així com la seva pròpia lectura i interpretació de la inscripció fenícia (La Stele di Nora. Scavo di un Testo Archeologico, 2019). La discussió inclou, a més, treballs recents i destacats, tant d’epigrafistes com d’arqueòlegs, sobre la intrigant inscripció, amb una especial atenció en les darreres contribucions de Paul G. Mosca i Émile Puech, tot plegat a fi de situar aquests estudis en el marc de l’epigrafia i l’arqueologia fenícies, sobretot els relatius al jaciment de Nora a Sardenya.
