This review is from: Lexicon to the Syriac New Testament (Paperback)

Jennings used to be the only quick reference Syriac lexicon but in all candor it's nearly 100 years old, (circa 1926). It is a fuzzy reprint of a lithograph, and the text is nearly illegible. Coupled with the small Serto font and dithered-out vowel pointing, some of which cannot be read at all, one has to labor visually to find and associate terms. I shelved Jennings in favor of the Williams "Lexicon to the Syriac New Testament" by DFI Publishing this year. Williams is a new work, accurate and concise, and has exquisite print and vowel pointing printed in a beautiful Syriac font.
