A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The plan of this Method and Manual is in general the same as that of the corresponding Introductory Hebrew Method and Manual of Professor W. K. Harper, Ph. D. The following notes may be in place by way of explanation. The first four chapters of Genesis (which are copied with yariations from Nestle s Syriac Grammar )are chosen because they afford the best means of comparison with the Hebrew of Professor Harper s Manual. The selections from the 10th to the 32d page, inclusive, lead up gradually from more easy to more difficult portions of the Peshito version. The last selection is the introductory portion of the history of Rabban Soma, possessed in manuscript by the author and never before published. Being printed in the Nestorian alphabet, it will be useful as an introduction to the East Syriac system of writing. For assistance in reading this selection the reader is referred especially to the note under Section I., Article 6, and to Article 6. 6. of the Elements. The Notes and Observations need no remark, except that the latter contain all of the main principles of Syriac grammar, while the former give all explanations necessary for a full understanding of the orthography, etymology, and syntax of the text. The Grammar Lessons carry the student over all the articles of the Elements of Syriac Grammar, with reviews of the same. The Word Lessons contain only such words as are not in the verses of Genesis, upon which the Exercises are largely based. When the grammar lesson has been upon a certain subject, the word lesson gives such words as throw light upon it; e. g., in Lesson XL the grammar lesson is on Lomadh Olaph verbs; the word lesson consists largely of Lomadh Olaph verbs. The vocabulary thus learned can be enlarged from the Word Lists on pp.
