Syriac Versions of the Bible
The Syriac tradition provides no less than six separate versions of the bible books between the second century and the seventh which are mostly well attested in manuscripts throughout late antiquity and even through the second millennium. While the Peshitta—which represents the official version of all the Syriac-using Churches up to the preset—is well known and is usually consulted by international Bible translation projects (such as the most rec…
Scribal Habits in Near Eastern Manuscript Traditions
Most scholars who employ manuscripts in their research tend to focus on the literary content itself. But what about the role of the scribe who typically remains at the periphery of research? How can we, in the words of the NT textual critic James Royse, “virtually look over the scribe’s shoulder” to understand the process by which our manuscripts were produced? Moreover, manuscripts often contain far more material than the words that form their p…
Learning Syriac and Garshuni in Early Modern Egypt: Evidence from the Cairo Genizah
The fragments published here consist of a pupil’s exercise sheets. The contents are alphabet exercises as well as repetitive phrases from hymnals. As such, the material sheds light on the pedagogical environment of the Syriac settlement in Early Modern Egypt and helps us connect the received liturgical tradition of the Syriac Orthodox Church with the middle of the second millennium

Turoyo Neo-Aramaic in northern New Jersey
Turoyo, an endangered Neo-Aramaic language that originated in the area of Tur Abdin in southeastern Turkey and had not been written prior to this century, is spoken today by around 50,000 people scattered worldwide. Spurred on by persecution, Turoyo-speaking immigrants began to arrive in the US as early as the late 1890s. We focus our study on a northern New Jersey community in which Turoyo is spoken. This tight-knit community, whose religious an…

Multitiered Nonlinear Morphology Using Multitape Finite Automata: A Case Study on Syriac and Arabic
This paper presents a computational model for nonlinear morphology with illustrations from Syriac and Arabic. The model is a multitiered one in that it allows for multiple lexical representations corresponding to the multiple tiers of autosegmental phonology. The model consists of three main components: (i) a lexicon, which is made of sublexica, with each sublexicon representing lexical material from a specific tier, (ii) a rewrite rules componen…
