Compendious Syriac Grammar
Theodor Nöldeke, Translated by James Crichton
This quality Eisenbrauns reprint (now in its third printing) of Crichton’s 1904 translation of Nöldeke’s Kurzgefasste Syrische Grammatik incorporates for the first time Anton Schall’s transcription of the great Semitist’s original handwritten supplementary material (translated by Peter T. Daniels). Nöldeke outlines in great detail the orthography, phonology, morphology, and syntax of Syriac in this reference grammar.
