Excerpt from Grammar of the Dialects of Vernacular Syriac: As Spoken by the Eastern Syrians of Kurdistan, North-West Persia, and the Plain of Mosul; With Notices of the Vernacular of the Jews of Azerbaijan and of Zakhu Near MosulIt will be seen by what has been said that while the Urmi dialect is well known, the others have not been brought to light. The Gospels have indeed been printed by the American' Presbyterian Mission at Urmi in the Alqosh dialect, that of the plain of Mosul, but a very limited number of copies was issued, and it is now quite unobtainable indeed it may be doubted if any were ever seen in Europe. Dr Socin also, in his N euaramdischen Dialekte eon Urmi bis Mosul, has given us a few specimens (chiefly in Roman character) of the J ilu, Salemas, Alqosh, and Zakhu' dialects, besides several of that of Urmi. But no grammar has been written of these other dialects; and those of the great Ashiret, or semi-independent tribes of Kurdistan, and several others, have been entirely untouched. The present writer has therefore set himself during a five years' sojou among the Eastern Syrians, when engaged on the Archbishop of Canterbury's mission to them, to collect the materials for the present grammar'; The number of variations both in the vocabulary and in the grammatical forms used is extraordinarily great, and almost every village has its own way of speaking. It will be found that in this book a large number of variant forms have been added even in the Urmi dialect; but it is perhaps necessary to remind European readers that this is the speech of only a small proportion of the people. It has been chosen by the different Miss1ons as their basis for writing the vernacular, but this' choice has given it an exaggerated importance. It is therefore the object of this work to compare the other dialects, that is, those of nine-tenths of the Eastern Syrian people, with that of Urmi, which is already known. It is clear that a comparison of dialects will throw much light on etymology, and that one dialect will often supply a missing link which will remove a difficulty in the speech of another.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book tells a story of serendipity. Two Christian monks left China about 1274, headed to Jerusalem. Travelling on an itinerary similar to that Marco Polo had taken, they reached Iran, ruled by a Mongol dynasty, the Ilkhans. There, what they never had expected happened: one of them, Mark by name, was elected Patriarch of the Church of the East (with the name Yahballaha), while the other, Rabban Sauma, was sent as ambassador to the pope and the courts of France and England by the Mongol Ilkhan Arghun. From Rabban Sauma's report of his embassy, and the two monk's memories of their journey from China to Mesopotamia, an anonymous author compiled a biography of Sauma and Mark. He interspersed their report and memories with a narrative about "the occurrences of their time - what happened to them, through them or because of them, relating everything just as it happened". The result was a chronicle entitled "History of Mar Yahballaha and Rabban Sauma", a rich and lively testimony of a time of unprecedented interconnectedness in the history of Eurasia at the epoch of the Mongol Empire.

This study is the first wide-scope morpho-syntactic comparative study of North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic dialects to date. Given the historical depth of Aramaic (almost 3 millennia) and the geographic span of the modern dialects, coming in contact with various Iranian, Turkic and Semitic languages, these dialects provide an almost pristine "laboratory" setting for examining language change from areal, typological and historical perspectives. While the study has a very wide coverage of dialects, including also contact languages (and especially Kurdish dialects), it focuses on a specific grammatical domain, namely attributive constructions, giving a theoretically motivated and empirically grounded account of their variation, distribution and development. The results will be enlightening not only to Semitists seeking to learn about this fascinating modern Semitic language group, but also for typologists and general linguists interested in the dynamics of noun phrase morphosyntax.

Judaism, the oldest of the Abrahamic religions, is one of the pillars of modern civilization. A collective of internationally renowned experts cooperated in a singular academic enterprise to portray Judaism from its transformation as a Temple cult to its broad contemporary varieties. In three volumes the long-running book series "Die Religionen der Menschheit" (Religions of Humanity) presents for the first time a complete and compelling view on Jewish life now and then - a fascinating portrait of the Jewish people with its ability to adapt itself to most different cultural settings, always maintaining its strong and unique identity. Volume III completes this ambitious project with profound chapters on Modern Jewish Culture, Halakhah (Jewish Law), Jewish Languages, Jewish Philosophy, Modern Jewish Literature, Feminism and Gender, and on Judaism and inter-faith relations.
