This grammar of Syriac by the Maronite George Al-Ruzzi (Risius), written in Arabic, is divided into four sections: parts 1 and 2 cover, respectively, the noun and verb, section 3 deals with conjunctions, and part 4 with combinations of letters and word structures. An introduction surveys the history of studying Syriac grammar and technical terminology is explained and discussed in the appropriate places throughout the text. Finally, a short outline of Syriac poetic meters with examples and the mention of authors associated with each meter concludes the volume, which will be a welcome addition in Arabic to serious students of Syriac.
