It is intended for those studying or researching Syriac texts or literature and for students of the Semitic languages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis standard lexicon of Syriac has long been the choice of students of Syriac, both for its comprehensiveness and also because of its handy size. It originated as an abridgement of Payne Smith’s \u003ci\u003eThesaurus Syriacus\u003c\/i\u003e, a substantically larger work that also tends to be less accessible for the student. Here the meanings of the Syriac words are given in English, and the order of the Syriac is alphabetical, to avoid requiring the student to know the root of the word being looked up. An essential tool for anyone studying or researching Syriac texts or literature and for students of the Semitic languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Compendious Syriac Dictionary\u003c\/i\u003e was first published by Oxford University Press in 1903 and has been out of print for a number of years.
