  Shalom to all,

 

     My compliments to the leadership for including materials pertaining to the Aramaic New Testament known as Peshitta. It has been highly esteemed by the Assyrian Christians for many, many centuries. My request would be for Payne-Smith's Compendious Syriac Dictionary as an e-Sword download. It is available at Tyndale House.. http://www.tyndale.c.../TABS/index.htm

   It is also available at www.archive.org in several formats..  http://archive.org/d...yriacDictionary

 

   The works of Gesenius, Wilson, and Marcus Jastrow might also be of interest to many on the forum. It's part of the TABS at Tyndale Archive.

 

  For multi-lingual exegetes, Edmund Castell's Heptaglott is online and might make a good e-Sword resource. It took Professor Castell 18 years to do this mammoth work spending 16-18 hours a day. Wow!  http://archive.org/d...acume00castuoft

 

  William Jennings' Syriac Dictionary gives references to Old Syriac (Curetonian) and Old Syriac (Sinaiticus), Philoxenian, etc., as well as the Peshitta Text words.

Judging from the dates listed, the works themselves are likely to be public domain.  Two of the documents:

A Compendious Syriac Dictionary, a Syriac dictionary founded upon the thesaurus syriacus of R. Payne Smith Creative Commons

and Lexicon Syriacum ex eius lexico heptaglotto seorsim typis describi (1788)

as an example are listed on the site as either in public domain or not in copyright, which is a hopeful sign that one or more of the module makers here will undertake the projects.
