George Anton Kiraz's Books

A concordance of the two text witnesses to the Old Syriac Gospel of the Distinct Evangelists (Evangelion da-Mepharreshe), namely Codex Curetonianus & Codex Sinaiticus. There are three separate concordances: Words, Personal & Geographical Names.

By the late 1970s phonologists, and later morphologists, had departed from a linear approach for describing morphophonological operations to a nonlinear one. Computational models, however, remain faithful to the linear model, making it very difficult, if not impossible, to implement the morphology of languages whose morphology is nonconcatanative. Computational Nonlinear Morphology aims at presenting a computational system that counters the development in linguistics. It provides a detailed computational analysis of the complex morphophonological phenomena found in Semitic languages based on linguistically motivated models.

The print edition is available as a set of six volumes (9789004097315).

Provides a comprehensive concordance to the Syriac New Testament according to the British and Foreign Bible Society's edition. The publication of this computer-generated Concordance fills a long term lacuna in the field of Syriac scholarship. Designed to be of service not only to western scholars and students, but also to clergy and laity of the Syriac Churches, for whom the Peshitta is their 'Authorized Version'.

This new edition provides the text of the Old Syriac, Peshitta and Harklean texts of the Syriac New Testament, drawn from the best sources and carefully aligned so that their inter-relationship can immediately be seen and studies.

The dot is used for everything in Syriac from tense to gender, number, and pronunciation, and unsurprisingly represents one of the biggest obstacles to learning the language. Using inscriptions, early grammars, and experiments with modern scribes, Dr. Kiraz peels back the evolution of the dot layer by layer to explain each of its uses in detail and to show how it adopted the wide range of uses it has today"--

The Syriac Primer serves as an introduction to the Syriac language. It assumes no knowledge of Syriac or any related language. The first chapter introduces the alphabet, with ample reading samples (on the accompanying CD). The second chapter moves into building basic sentences. The following chapters give elementary and intermediate readings (also on the CD), with basic grammar chapters in between. Features of the book are the inclusion of chapters on poetry, how to use a dictionary, and vocabulary lists.

This volume presents and analyzes information on the pre-Islamic and early Islamic historical geography and toponyms of the Beth Qaṭraye region as well as newly discovered vocabulary from a language referred to as Qaṭrāyīth ("in Qatari") used by its inhabitants.

The print edition is available as a set of six volumes (9789004097315).

The Pocket Dictionary is both a convenient academic resource and a door into the world of Modern Literary Syriac. With 13,000 entries drawn from the major existing works, it is a practical tool for all but the most specialized Classical Syriac texts. The dictionary contains words and word meanings not found in earlier dictionaries. Technical words from the grammatical and liturgical traditions are marked as such, and Kthobonoyo words and meanings are also marked. Difficult and unusual verb forms, especially weak forms, are listed alphabetically and under their respective root"--
