Publisher Description: Syriac is the Aramaic dialect of Edessa in Mesopotamia. This work presents the language both in the Syriac script and in transcription. Here, the majority of the sentences in the exercises are taken directly from the P'itta, the Syriac translation of the Bible. It also gives a chart of correspondences among Arabic, Hebrew, and Syriac. |
