This review is from: Concordance to the Syriac New Testament (Hardcover)

I bought this Concordance as an accompaniment to the Syriac New Testament with Lexicon. There is a shortage of good Syriac reference works. Many are out of print or poor reprints. This new edition has been helpful to me as a parsing and reference Concordance for every word form occurrence in the Syriac New Testament. It is an excellent tool. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Concordance to the Syriac New Testament (Hardcover)

In 2009 I searched for a Syriac Concordance to the Peshitta for my studies in the New Testament. What I found was that only a few existed and most of these were out of print. Of the two that were in print one was a small non-exhaustive edition of not much value and the other was the great work done by Dr. Kiraz in 6 volumes. Unfortunately the Kiraz Concordance exceeded 11,000 Krona, (about 1600 dollars US), and was not possible to purchase for me. Later I later found the Williams Syriac Concordance to the NT which addressed my language needs. This is an exhaustive edition for both word-form and NT citations but also includes parsing data. This text has proven itself and has become an indispensable tool for my Syriac studies. The page format is intuitive with good spacing and lemma navigation. The Syriac font and vowel pointing is the highest quality print I have seen in a Syriac reference work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Positively excellent, June 27, 2010

By 

Mark Woolridge (La Grande, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Concordance to the Syriac New Testament (Hardcover)

In my opinion this is the only single-volume exhaustive Syriac Concordance to the NT and it is excellent. It is bound as a single tome and is nicely laid out. The text is in a beautiful vowel-pointed Meltho Syriac font and has both an exhaustive NT citation section and morphology detail for each term. For working through the Syriac text this has become the best Syriac reference that I own.
