Preview A Grammar of Egyptian Aramaic, 1st ed. (HdO 32)

Description:
This is the first up-to-date, and complete grammar of Egyptian Aramaic as presented in texts of Egyptian provenance dating from the middle of the first millennium B.C.E. and as edited by B. Porten and A. Yardeni in their Textbook of Aramaic Documents from Ancient Egypt (Jerusalem, 1986). The grammar covers not only the phonology and morphology, but contains a substantial section on morphosyntax and syntax. It is a descriptive grammar enriched with the expert knowledge and familiary of one of the co-authors with the contents and background of the texts in question. It is meant to replace P. Leander's Laut- und Formenlehre des Agyptisch-Aramaischen (1928), but also supplements it substantially, because it had no syntax. The grammar will be a vade mecum for every Aramaist, Semitist and those interested in a study of these ancient texts of utmost importance and interest.
