Gorgias Press......

Nov-20-2001 at 09:16 AM (UTC+3 Nineveh, Assyria)

Shlama l'Kulkhon,

Just thought I'd pass along this link to a most wonderful new printing press that is now offering many old and out-of-print books on our various topics, especially Aramaic & the Peshitta:

https://www.gorgiaspress.com/

Check it out!

Shlama Akhi Paul,

I was just wondering if you knew of anyone who has used the "Concise English-Syriac Syriac-English Dictionary" by Sebastian P. Brock and George A. Kiraz. I noticed it was almost at the very bottom of the "Catalogue" page where it was listed, but not as a link
I'm soaking up all the overtime I can at the plant so I might have to use the quickest and handiest means of learning some of these things.
I can go from $14.16 an hour to $21.24 an hour on my time-and a-half pay so I like it when they "want volunteers."
Sometimes my time seems more valuable than the money. Quiet time to contemplate,meditate and just plain,old-fashioned learning are at a very high premium sometimes. Not to mention my wife Betty and BabyBear my miniature Dachshund like having me around pretty well.
P.S. Nice webpage. Just wish I had more time.

Shlama w'Burkate,

Lawrence Raymond Kelsey

It really should be at the top of the "catalogue" list. Just check "museum" in the English version. I guess what is of value to one appears to be useless to others. Look at what was going to happen but did not because another neighbors kids caused major disasters at our house. It was very beneficial to one neighbor. That most gracious neighbor was the first to come running to clean-up the mess. Check out Ninevah on the web and see where some of the treasures are now.

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb

Aramaic \ar-é-'máik\ n (1998)   1:  a Semitic language which became the lingua franca of the Middle East during the ancient Assyrian empire.   2:  has been referred to as Neo-Aramaic, Neo-Syriac, Classical Syriac, Syriac, Suryoyo, Swadaya and Turoyo.
