Excerpt from Syriac Grammar: With Bibliography, Chrestomathy and GlossaryOf the legends of the finding of the Gross I give two new recensions with appendix, for which I am indebted to the kindness of Wright, Martin and Bickell. I still hepe to fulfil the promise I made in the preface to the first edition, to publish a collection of the various fragments. I have left the text precisely as it is given in the manuscripts; e. G. In 113, 12. 116, 57. 117, 78. 124, 222. 131, 76. The extracts in the first edition from Jacob of Edessa (severus) and Daniel of Salach, I have here omitted as being too difficult; all the words of the first edition, however, have been retained in the glossary, which has in consequence become more comprehensive, and has unfortunately, I cannot doubt, brought with it many of the mistakes of the earlier edition.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
