|  | The Jewish Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Urmi by
This volume presents a description of the Neo-Aramaic dialect that was spoken by the Jews of Urmi in north-western Iran but which is now virtually extinct. The material for the volume was gathered firsthand in fieldwork conducted with the last remaining speakers in Israel. The volume consists of a detailed grammatical description, a corpus of transcribed texts, including folktales, historical accounts and portrayals of customs, and an extensive glossary. |
|  | A Syriac Lexicon by Michael Sokoloff
The second edition of Carl Brockelmann's Lexicon Syriacum, published in 1928, is the best dictionary of Syriac ever written. 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. |
|  | Studies in the Peshitta of Kings by
The first part of this monograph examines the manuscript variants of the Peshitta (the standard Syriac translation) of Kings, with special attention to the manuscript 9a1. The study of the unique readings of 9a1 provides massive evidence that in Kings it commonly preserves the original Peshitta. Not only is the importance of 9a1 for the textual history of Kings established, but overwhelming evidence is found that the non-9a1 mss attest to an extensive intentional revision. The second part of the monograph reworks material from Walter’s dissertation on 2 Kings. The question of the Hebrew text used and the rendering of names are treated. Relations with the LXX and Targum are treated. |

This volume is the third in a series that addresses issues related to a contemporary approach to Classical Syriac lexicography. The international team of authors invited to participate in this volume represents a wide range of disciplines in Syriac, Greek and Hebrew linguistics, and opens new horizons in lexical thinking. Volume editors Janet Dyk and Wido van Peursen present the papers in four thematically related parts.
Part 1: Lexicography and Morphology. Dirk Bakker argues for providing full information as to the identity of a lexeme; Percy van Keulen discusses derivation and inflection with regard to feminine nominal endings; Wido van Peursen deals with verbs beginning with ša; and Constantijn Sikkel argues for the inclusion of enclitics.
Part 2: Lexicography and Syntax: Part of Speech Attribution. Terry Falla and Dean Forbes address grammatical classification in Syriac and Hebrew respectively.
Part 3: Words, Texts, and Contexts. Janet Dyk examines translation choices made in Peshitta Kings; James Aitken looks at socio-historical background in Greek lexicographical work; and Reinier de Blois presents new tools and methodologies for the development of an electronic Hebrew lexicon.
Part 4: Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Hebrew and Greek Lexicography. Regine Hunziker-Rodewald> details the Gesenius–BDB family of lexica and the KAHAL–HALAT project; Jo-Ann Hackett> and John Huehnergard report on revising and updating BDB; John Kaltner examines the Koehler–Baumgartner family; James Aitken examines the lexica of Zorell and Alonso Schoekel; and finally Reinier de Blois evaluates Louw and Nida’s approach to semantic domains from a cognitive linguistic perspective. | |
