商品簡介
Muraoka and Porten offer a comprehensive grammar of Egyptian Aramaic as presented in Porten and Yardeni's Textbook of Aramaic Documents from Ancient Egypt (Jerusalem, 1986-1999), which incorporates diverse documents dating from the seventh to the third century BCE. In addition to covering phonology and morphology, nearly half of the volume is devoted to morphosyntax and syntax. It is assumed that the reader already possesses basic knowledge of Aramaic. Almost every Aramaic citation has been translated, however, and a glossary of technical terms has been appended. Hebrew language scholar Muraoka is Professor Emeritus at the State U. of Leiden (The Netherlands), and Porten teaches Jewish history at the Hebrew U. of Jerusalem.
