Paradigms and Exercises in Syriac Grammar (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Paradigms and Exercises in Syriac Grammar Mr. Robinson is doing a public service in publishing a popular grammar of the Syriac language, the more so as nearly all the available grammars are either antiquated or out of print. It is one more sign of the revival of too-longr neglected Syriac studies. It is strange that so little has been done in the presentation of one of the most attractive of the Semitic languages. Perhaps if there were in this country a native Syrian Church, things might have been different. Divinity students, at least, would have found out sooner the value of the Syriac for their New Testament and their Church History.
