A review of A. J. Maclean's notable grammar of Modern Syriac (also available from Gorgias Press), three years after its publication, mingling praise with trenchant criticism, chiefly of Maclean's tendency to conclude that Old Syriac forms must be correct in spelling and meaning for the modern language. In the process, this is a useful account of the Western discovery of modern Syriac.
