Hello Scholars,
What is the difference in the Aramaic of Daniel and Ezra compared to the Aramaic New Testament, 50 A.D.?
I have 'Introduction to Syriac' N.T. (Thackston) and, 'An Introduction to Aramaic (Frederick E. Greenspahn) O.T..
Would learning O.T. Aramaic be of little value in my study of Syriac? Would Dr. Van Pelt's book on O.T. Aramaic help?
Would you please recommend Syriac grammars for the understanding of the New Testament?
Thank you for your help.
Dr. Bruce
