Excerpt from An Assyrian Manual: For the Use of Beginners in the Study of the Assyrian Language

The texts have not been divided into sentences and para graphs as fully as might have been done. The Assyrian, it must be remembered, indicates but rarely such divisions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive guide for those eager to unlock the secrets of the Assyrian language. Written for students seeking to delve into this ancient tongue without the benefit of direct instruction, the text offers a clear and accessible pathway to understanding Assyrian grammar and vocabulary. The author, acknowledging the challenges of mastering cuneiform writing, emphasizes the importance of acquiring the phonetic values of the signs. By introducing transliterated texts before delving into the intricacies of cuneiform, the book encourages a gradual understanding of the language's structure, making the memorization of the signs less daunting. The book's transliterated texts, drawn primarily from the *Cuneiform Inscriptions of Western Asia*, are carefully selected to offer a chronological journey through the classic Assyrian period. With insightful notes and a detailed glossary, the author guides readers through the nuances of verb stems, pronoun usage, and the complexities of the weak verb system. The text's focus on the phonetic basis of the language, coupled with the use of transliterated texts, presents a unique approach to learning Assyrian that highlights the underlying linguistic principles and draws parallels with the more familiar Hebrew language. The book offers a valuable resource for anyone seeking to explore the rich world of Assyrian literature and history, enabling readers to decipher the ancient texts and gain a deeper appreciation of this fascinating language and the culture it embodies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333897871_0
