This is a basic introduction to the various Syriac translations of the Bible and the ways in which they were used in the Syriac tradition. After an initial discussion of the general problems of biblical translation, the different surviving Syriac translations are outlined, as well as biblical manuscripts, lectionaires, printed editions, and translations. A reception history of the Syriac Bible covers the ways in which it has been interpreted, the commentary tradition, its use in preaching, in liturgy, and in spirituality. An appendix offers some comparative samples (in translation) to illustrate some of the differences between the different Syriac translations. |

Theodor Nöldeke ‘s Grammatik der neusyrischen Sprache is an extremely rare find. Its scarcity should not be taken as a reflection on its authority or usefulness, however. In this original 1868 edition, Nöldeke lays out the basics of Neo-Syrian as it was used in Kurdistan and the area of Uremia. This valuable study, essentially unique to this day in its coverage of underrepresented language studies, provides a substantial, German introduction to the dialects described, followed by a thorough study of the languages themselves, also in German. The utility of this essential work is without question, and it will be eagerly sought out by scholars of languages related to Syriac as they have continued to be used.
Theodor Nöldeke (1836-1930) was a celebrated scholar of Semitics. Educated at Göttingen, Vienna, and Leiden, he also taught at Göttingen before moving on to the universities of Kiel and Strasbourg. He wrote prolifically on Semitic linguistics, producing several notable grammars, including the present volume.
