Finding that there are many traces left by the Aramaic language in the Lebanon and Syria, the author, Father Youssef Hobeica, takes a decade to collect them and compile them into this book. It is a compilation of the original Aramaic dialect as it appears in the spoken Syrian and Lebanese dialects of Arabic, or in the churches of these countries. It is evident from his work that the influence of the Aramaic language is extensive. Its documentation insures that it should not be lost or forgotten as time forges on.
