Grammar of the Aramaic Syriac Language (Arabic Edition) ReviewI just got a copy of this book. You will notice that Amazon says that it is in English. In fact, the text is in Arabic. I need to get my Arabic to a level useful for scholarly reading, so I'm keeping the book. However, if your goal is to get a grammar of Syriac written in English, try Thackston, Introduction to Syriac: An Elementary Grammar With Readings from Syriac Literature (for the introductory level) or Noldeke, Compendious Syriac Grammar (for a reference grammar).
By the way, I was not going to rate this item at all, since I cannot yet read and evaluate the text. However, Amazon will not let me publish this review without rating the book, so I have picked three stars just to have something in the slot.
P.S. (added June 20, 2009) I have recently had occasion to go through this book more thoroughly than I had previously, and I discovered that where p. 361 should be 366 is found. 366 is also found where it should be. This indicates that there was an error when the scan of this 1929 book was being prepared for a modern reprint. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find an original copy of this book in order to get a copy of this page.Grammar of the Aramaic Syriac Language (Arabic Edition) OverviewGrammar of the Aramaic Syriac Language is one of the best written Syriac grammars produced in Arabic, covering orthography, morphology and syntax. It follows the eastern grammatical tradition by classifying morphology under nouns, verbs and prepositions. A unique feature is the inclusion of all grammatical terminology in Syriac. The volume also includes a brief history of the Aramaic-speaking people.Paul Al-Khoury Al-Kfarnissy (1888-1963) was professor of Syriac at the Lebanese Maronite Order. His writings include an unpublished history of Syriac literature.
