This standard lexicon of Syriac has long been the choice of
students of Syriac, both for its comprehensiveness and also because
of its handy size. It originated as an abridgement of Payne
Smith’s Thesaurus Syriacus, a substantically larger work that
also tends to be less accessible for the student. Here the meanings
of the Syriac words are given in English, and the order of the
Syriac is alphabetical, to avoid requiring the student to know the
root of the word being looked up. An essential tool for anyone
studying or researching Syriac texts or literature and for students
of the Semitic languages. The Compendious Syriac Dictionary was
first published by Oxford University Press in 1903 and has been out
of print for a number of years. A quality Eisenbrauns reprint based
on the 1976 printing.
