Anotace

"Syriac is the Aramaic dialect of Edessa, an important center of early Christianity in Mesopotamia. Edessene Syriac was rapidly accepted as the literary language of all non-Greek eastern Christianity and was the primary vehicle for the Christianization of large parts of central and south-central Asia" (Thackston, Introduction to Syriac, p. vii). Students are introduced into a complete knowledge of the Syriac verbal paradigms and all categories of nouns. Basic rules of syntax are also explained. Exercises focus on translation of the New Testament texts (Peshitta), and in the last part of semester also non biblical text are presented (simple prose and poetry).
