This grammar of Biblical Aramaic is intended in the first place for the
student who wishes to acquire a thorough knowledge of the language of
the Aramaic portions of the bible. But it also hopes to stimulate
interest in the Aramaic dialects in general and to create a sound basis
for further Aramaic studies. It contains a brief but quite full
description of the phonetic and grammatical features of Biblical
Aramaic, as well as tables of paradigms for the different classes of
verbs. Special attention has been paid to the syntax, and the important
syntactic data of the language have been treated in special chapters
which, however, are kept together with the morphological presentation. A
complete glossary of Biblical Aramaic concludes the book. The 7th
edition was augmented with an index of biblical citations that was
compiled by Daniel M. Gurtner.
