An Introduction to Biblical Aramaic

[drsdanderson]

Schuele, Andreas. An Introduction to Biblical Aramaic. Louisville: Westminster John Knox Press, 2012.

 

This book is arranged as a reference grammar, but is written at an introductory level. It can be used by itself to learn biblical Aramaic, or can be used as a complement to another introductory grammar.

[Brian W. Davidson]

This is my favorite Aramaic grammar. Would like it in Accordance, too!

 

I wrote a review of it here for more information:

I have not personally used the grammar by Miles van Pelt, but I have heard great things about it:

[drsdanderson]

Yes, Van Pelt is a popular teaching grammar. My personal favorite introductory grammars are Schuele and Johns, because of their technical precision from a linguistics standpoint. But it would be great to have any of these in Accordance.

I don't have the time for Aramaic right now alas but if some of these could get into Acc that would be handy for me in my imagined future leisure when I could then take it up
