Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in the Syriac language, providing a concise and accessible entry point for beginners. It serves as an abridgement of a larger and more comprehensive work, the Thesaurus Syriacus, making it more manageable for those new to the language. The author's approach prioritizes practicality, opting for an alphabetical arrangement of entries over a scientific one to enhance user-friendliness. Entries include Syriac words, their pronunciations, and English translations, along with examples of their usage in context. Additionally, the book delves into the nuances of Syriac grammar, exploring different verb conjugations and their respective meanings. The historical and cultural context of Syriac is also touched upon, with references to proper nouns and places of significance in Syriac literature and history. The author draws on various Syriac lexica and sources, including works from the 9th and 10th centuries, to provide a well-rounded understanding of the language. This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the Syriac language, its structure, and its historical significance, making it an indispensable tool for anyone embarking on the journey of learning this ancient and fascinating language. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
