Uhlemanns Syriac Grammar PDF Download

Excerpt from Uhlemann's Syriac Grammar: With a Course of Exercises in Syriac Grammar, and a Chrestomathy and Brief Lexicon The following translation was undertaken in accordance with the suggestion of several literary friends, and in view of an increasing desire among American students to become acquainted with a language in which the earliest and best version of the New Testament is generally admitted to have been made, and which is essentially the language spoken by our Saviour. Uhlemann's Grammar is acknowledged by all to be a manual of rare excellence; and it is hoped that, in an English dress, it will be found to be well adapted to promote the progress of oriental philology in this country. Some of our helps of this kind, in the study of the Syriac, are too brief, and others are too voluminous. Uhlemann has aimed to present, within moderate limits, a work sufficiently extensive for ordinary purposes of instruction. The translator has endeavored to give as literal a translation as is compatible with perspicuity. He has added, where it seemed to be necessary, occasional explanatory notes. After having prepared an abridgment of the paradigms of verbs and nouns, following Winer's arrangement in his Chaldee Grammar, he, on the whole, concluded to insert the full paradigms as they stand in the original work, and not to make the attempt to improve a grammar so nearly faultless.
