|  | Selected Works of Narsai by Alphonse Mingana
This is the most complete collection of the extant writings of Narsai to have been published. Many of the works of Narsai (d. 502) have not survived. This two-volume collection represents the standard Syriac edition of his compositions. |
|  | Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage by Sebastian Brock
The Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage (GEDSH) is the first major encyclopedia-type reference work devoted exclusively to Syriac Christianity, both as a field of scholarly inquiry and as the inheritance of Syriac Christians today. In more than 600 entries it covers the Syriac heritage from its beginnings in the first centuries of the Common Era up to the present day. Special attention is given to authors, literary works, scholars, and locations that are associated with the Classical Syriac tradition. Within this tradition, the diversity of Syriac Christianity is highlighted as well as Syriac Christianity’s broader literary and historical contexts, with major entries devoted to Greek and Arabic authors and more general themes, such as Syriac Christianity’s contacts with Judaism and Islam, and with Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, and Georgian Christianities. |
|  | The Foreign Vocabulary of the Quran by Arthur Jeffery
This handbook of foreign loan words in the Arabic of the Quran is set up in dictionary format. Each word is given in Arabic and in transliteration, followed by an extensive definition. As useful today as when it was first published, this volume will be welcomed by students of Arabic and especially those who are concerned with its relationship to foreign languages. |
|  | Les Dialectes Néo-Araméens de Salamas by M. Duval
This specialized study by renowned linguist Rubens Duval brings together several grammatical studies between its covers. For the most part this intriguing volume is an exploration of the dialects of Neo-Aramaic of Salmas in the area of Azerbaijan and northwest Iran. Duval transcribed in handwritten, Roman characters, the aural information he received in the region from Syrian Christians and Jews. These are translated into French, making access to the linguistic information available to non-Semitic specialists. Duval concludes the book with an article on Syriac inscriptions of Salmas. This book is very rare in the used book market. |

| By Eugene Manna | | ISBN: | 978-1-59333-552-6 | | Availability: | In Print | | Publication Date: | 11/2007 | | Format: | Hardback, Black, 6 x 9 in |
Among the early attempts to bring ancient languages together, Manna’s lexicon is a landmark. A concise comparison between Syriac, the language of the Chaldean Church, and Arabic, the language of the contemporary culture, this work has eminently practical application. Originally a tool for Arabic-speaking Chaldean Christians, this dictionary quickly became a standard reference tool for scholars of Syriac as well. By printing this scarce resource, Gorgias Press now makes this insightful lexicon widely available to western scholars.
Eugene Manna (1867-1928) was a Chaldean educator and priest. He was eventually consecrated bishop, but after disagreements with his hierarchy, he disappeared, leaving his episcopal cross and ring in his room. Several days later his body was found in the Tigris River. In addition to his lexicon, he wrote a Syriac grammar and a two-volume collection of Syriac literature.
