Synopsis

Dr. Errico and Fr. Bazzi take the beginning student through the early stages of instruction in the classical Aramaic language. The book is part workbook, part textbook, as the authors introduce the reader to the Aramaic alphabet; along the way, they discuss the meaning and shapes of the letters and the proper techniques for writing them.
