SynopsisComplete Aramaic draws on extracts from the books of Daniel and Ezra, as well as extracts from the Dead Sea Scrolls and ancient papyri, to teach the language in a way that assumes no prior knowledge on the part of the learner. Teaching both the Aramaic script and transliteration, it introduces each new grammatical point systematically and thoroughly, ensuring complete understanding before progressing to the next stage and with emphasis on a deeper understanding. Throughout the book, grammar is explained and reinforced with a wide range of readings and exercises, including translation practice. This course enables the learner to interact with Aramaic texts in their original language from the earliest point, helping them to gain confidence in their ability to read the language, and from there to be able to truly appreciate the influence of Aramaic and the Arameans on the Middle East, and some parts of Africa and Central Asia. With further insights into Aramaic history and culture, this is an ideal language course for anyone interested in learning Biblical Aramaic, whether motivated by an interest in archaeology, Near Eastern studies, Semitic languages, or simple curiosity, and is suitable for both self-study and classroom use.
