Widmanstadt's First Syriac Grammar Of 1555 : Syriacæ Linguæ - Prima Elementa

This edition is a reproduction of the first Syriac printed grammar, compiled in 1555 by Johannes Albertus Widmanstadt (1506-1559), probably with the help of Moses of Mardin. Widmanstadt and Moses had just finished printing the first printed Syriac New Testament, and compiled this grammar as a companion. A few tables of the alphabet and various syllabic variations teaches the student how to read Syriac. This is followed by prayers and liturgical texts given in Syriac, Latin transcription, Hebrew transcription and Latin translation. In addition to its value as a collectable item, it can still be used by beginners.Kiraz, George is the author of 'Widmanstadt's First Syriac Grammar Of 1555 : Syriacæ Linguæ - Prima Elementa', published 2006 under ISBN 9781593333720 and ISBN 1593333722.
