|  | Neo-Aramaic Dialect Studies by Geoffrey Khan
This volume contains a collection of papers presented at the workshop on various aspects of the grammar of Neo-Aramaic, with special attention to the North Eastern Neo-Aramaic dialect group. The papers include descriptions of several hitherto undescribed dialects together with sample texts and also studies of various aspects of phonology, morphology and syntax of the dialects. |
|  | 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. |
|  | A Syriac Lexicon by Michael Sokoloff
The second edition of Carl Brockelmann's Lexicon Syriacum, published in 1928, is a highly reputable Syriac dictionary. However, its Latin language and the ordering of words according to triliteral Semitic roots make its use difficult for most students and scholars. This revised edition by Sokoloff renders meanings in English, arranges words alphabetically, and includes many useful tools on a CD. |
|  | The Apology of Timothy the Patriarch before the Caliph Mahdi by Alphonse Mingana
Part of Alphonse Mingana’s “Woodbrooke Studies” (of which the present book is volume 2), The Apology of Timothy the Patriarch before the Caliph Mahdi is accompanied in this volume by The Lament of the Virgin and The Martyrdom of Pilate. The namesake of the volume, Timothy’s apology for Christianity, is an eighth-century manuscript and one of the earliest documents concerning Christianity’s relationship with Islam. The Lament of the Virgin is Mary’s sadness at the empty tomb; in this piece she is conflated with Mary Magdalene. The Martyrdom of Pilate presents Pontius Pilate as a saint and lays out his spiritual accomplishments that are crowned by his martyrdom. |

More than a literary survey, this introduction to the history of late and Neo-Syriac (Neo-Aramaic) covers the works of the past several centuries. Macuch begins with the post-Mongolian period to the end of the 18th century. After providing a general ecclesiastical-political layout of the era, he looks at the literature of the Syrian Orthodox and Church of the East traditions, the School of Alqosh, and the Maronites. Moving forward in time, he considers the Neo-Aramaic folk-language from the beginning of the 19th century. Here he examines anonymous literature, spiritual poetry, and catechetical literature. For the 19th century itself, Macuch considers the situation of the Assyrians in this period, including the American missionary enterprise in Urmia, both Catholic and Evangelical, as well as the Anglican and Russian Orthodox missions, noting the writers of the foreign missions. For the twentieth century, the Assyrians in the two world wars, and the authors from the period of the wars up to the 1970s, Neo-Aramaic writers in America and those who wrote in foreign languages, including periodical literature. Turning his final attention to the material in classical Syriac over the last two centuries, he considers various East-Syriac and West-Syriac authors of the Chaldean and Church of the East, and Syrian Orthodox and Maronite traditions, respectively. The study concludes with a presentation of the Syrian literature of Malabar in southern India. In general the material is laid out with the author being listed and a brief accounting for the written works being presented. This useful handbook, previously out of print, will be welcomed by those who wish to remain current with the past and on-going work in the Syriac literary heritage.
Rudolf Macuch (1919-1993) was a Slovakian Orientalist. He studied at Bratislava before moving to Iran to gain firsthand experience of his interests. He eventually moved on to Oxford and Berlin, where he taught. He is best known for his extensive and groundbreaking work on the Mandaean language.
