Les Chr tiens de Najrān sont c l bres gr ce leur martyrs (en novembre 523) et leurs relations avec la principaut th ocratique fond e par Muḥammad M dine en 622. Mais, jusqu' ces derni res ann es, seule la tradition savante manuscrite, chr tienne et musulmane, prouvait leur existence. Ce n'est plus le cas d sormais. Depuis 2014, d'importants vestiges arch ologiques, principalement des inscriptions rupestres, peuvent leur tre attribu s. La nature et la distribution chronologique de ces vestiges apportent de substantielles inflexions aux connaissances sur l'histoire de ces Chr tiens, encore influents au xe si cle, et sur les langues et les critures en usage Najrān.
The Christians of Najrān are known by their martyrdom (November 523), described in Christian sources. According to Muslim tradition, the community was in relation with the polity of Medina, founded by Muḥammad in 622. Recent archeological discoveries attest this community in more details and bring substantial changes to our knowledge. Situated between Yemen and Medina, Najrān was not only an influential Christian community persisting until the 10th century, but has seen remarkable transformations. The Christians of Najrān underwent developments, some of which find an echo in the Qurʾān, the earliest layer of Arabic script and the Muslim tradition.
