Finding that the Ge’ez lexicons of his day were unable to keep up with the pace of his research, August Dillmann composed this dictionary in 1865 as a new standard for scholars of Ethiopic, a much-understudied Christian heritage that has contributed its own literature, art, theology, and Biblical texts. With the help of Werner Munzinger, a specialist in Tigrean, Dillmann compiled the oldest and best Ethiopic manuscripts to collect vocabulary and update contemporary interpretations of Ge’ez grammar, drawing from works as diverse as poetry, theology, medicine, civil and canon law, and science to make his lexicon as comprehensive as possible. Created in a time when great lexicons were emerging in all sorts of fields, Dillmann’s work was designed to give his colleagues the same advantages that scholars in Hebrew and Syriac had.

A Brief Introduction to the Semitic Languages

With a written history of nearly five thousand years, the Semitic languages comprise one of the world’s earliest and longest attested families. This volume provides an overview of this important language family, including both ancient and modern languages. After a brief introduction to the history of the family and its internal classification, subsequent chapters cover topics in phonology, morphology, syntax, and lexicon. Each chapter describes features that are characteristic of the Semitic language family as a whole, as well as some of the more extraordinary developments that take place in the individual languages.

History of Eastern Christianity (paperback)

This book is a classic in the history of the Oriental Churches, which are sometimes portrayed as heretical in general church history books, if mentioned at all. Written by a Copt, it portrays the history of the faith of these non-Chalcedonian Churches with first-hand knowledge of their traditions. The author covers Alexandrine Christianity (the Copts and the Ethiopians), the Church of Antioch (Syriac Orthodox), the “Nestorian” Church of the East, the Armenian Church, the St. Thomas Christians of South India, the Maronite Church, as well as the Vanished Churches of Carthage, Pentapolis, and Nubia.

Picture of New Perspectives on Ancient Nubia

New Perspectives on Ancient Nubia

Ancient Nubia played key political, social, and economic roles in the ancient world, yet knowledge of Nubian societies remains regrettably narrow, with Nubia often disregarded as derivative of Egypt. This volume provides a timely corrective to this outlook, centering Nubian history and archaeology and presenting research from new, anti-racist perspectives. In addition to demonstrating Nubiology’s potential impact on Egyptological, classical, and biblical scholarship, this volume offers a new window into African achievements and dominance in the ancient world.
