|  | An Introduction to Syriac Studies by Sebastian Brock
This Introduction aims to provide basic guidance to important areas of Syriac studies. The relevance of Syriac studies to a variety of other fields is explored. A brief orientation to the history of Syriac literature is offered, and Syriac is set within the context of the other Aramaic dialects. A thorough discussion on important tools (Instrumenta Studiorum) is presented; topics include grammars, dictionaries, the Bible in Syriac, histories of Syriac literature, bibliographical aids and relevant series, periodicals, and encyclopedias. This Introduction should prove useful both for the student beginning Syriac studies and for scholars working in adjacent fields. |
|  | The Bible in the Syriac Tradition (English Version) by Sebastian Brock
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. |

`Enbe men Karmo Suryoyo is a chrestomathy intended primarily for students who have covered the essentials of Syriac morphology and syntax, but it should also interest anyone who enjoys Syriac literature in general. The twenty-six selections consist of examples of Syriac prose and poetry from the second until the thirteenth centuries AD. The readings reflect a wide and varied range of subject matter. Inevitably, selections of a religious nature predominate, but historical, ethnographic, chemical, astronomical, and linguistic excerpts produced by famous Syriac authors, as well as less familiar ones, have been included. A Syriac-English glossary and an index of grammatical points are included. |

Further Biblical Hebrew is a coursebook designed for students who have completed at least one year of College study in Biblical Hebrew. It helps students make the transition from the basic grammar books to use of the comprehensive reference grammar books and to more advanced analysis of Biblical Hebrew. Constant reference is made not only to recent works of grammar, but also to the grammatical comments of the medieval Jewish exegetes in the original Hebrew, for which translations and explanations are provided. A central theme is the idea that medieval and modern scholars in the field of Biblical Hebrew grammar have reached essentially similar conclusions, even if the medievals lacked modern terminology.
Part One covers the Hebrew verb, focusing on the recognition and analysis of the uses of Niphal, Piel, Hiphil and Hithpael. There are exercises, such as: 'Spot the Niphal'; 'Identify the Piel verbs and discuss their form and use'; 'Identify and parse Polel formations'. All the analysis and all the exercises are based on actual Biblical verses and there is no use of artificial Hebrew.
Part Two treats the uses of Infinitive Absolute and Infinitive Construct; Part Three is devoted to Syntax, focusing on: antithetical sentences, purpose clauses, interrogative sentences, answers to questions and causal clauses. Part Four deals with uses of: Perfect, Imperfect and Participle. Part Five discusses the grammatical features of 'poetic' Biblical Hebrew and 'elevated style', including a grammatical overview of the Song of the Sea (Exodus 15). Table of Contents
