Christian Palestinian Aramaic is the name of the Aramaic dialect spoken and written by the Melkite community in Palestine during the first millennium CE. Nearly all of the texts that have survived in this dialect are translations of religious texts originally composed in Greek for the use of members of this community whose only language was Aramaic. The only complete dictionary of this dialect was published over a century ago by Fr. Schulthess in 1903. However, since then, many new texts have been published and many previously known ones have been restudied and republished more accurately by various scholars. The present work has taken into account all of the existing texts as well as the secondary literature in order to make this new dictionary an essential tool for Aramaic scholarship.

This book has been planned to be used together with the author's Dictionary of Christian Palestinian Aramaic. The texts which form the basis of this volume were originally published in a large number of scattered publications making both their citation in the dictionary and their use by the reader difficult. The purpose of the present work has been to gather all of these texts into one convenient volume and to republish them in the original Palestinian Aramaic script and format. Additionally, a number of Appendices dealing with this Aramaic dialect have been added to clarify other issues concerning the dictionary.

The Christian Palestinian Aramaic version of The Forty Martyrs of the Sinai Desert, Eulogius the Stone-Cutter and Anastasia is the third volume in the series A Corpus of Palestinian Aramaic of the Early period (5th-8th cents. AD). The edition replaces A.S. Lewis' 1912 version of the text. All available palimpsest fragments have been rechecked and their reading has been improved. Some small fragments formerly missing in the editio princeps have been identified and added. The text is accompanied by an English translation, a glossary, and a short philological commentary.

The Christian Palestinian Aramaic Old Testament and Apocrypha version from the Early Period gives the reader a new and revised edition of the remaining textes of these books from the pre-Islamic Period, and presents a much more accurate text of this version than has hitherto been available. All previously published manuscripts were reread from the originals, and a number of newly identified fragments are published here for the first time. The usefulness of the edition is enhanced by a glossary of all the words occurring in these texts.

This is the first text edition of the catechism of Cyril of Jerusalem in the Christian Palestinian Aramaic version (ca 5th-7th centuries AD). About a third of the volume comprises previously unpublished text material. The real importance of this Aramaic version is that it is based on a translation from an earlier Greek version now lost. For comparison, the Aramaic part has been juxtaposed with the Greek text of the critical edition of 1848. A glossary of the Aramaic words has been included.

In this book, the authors have collected all of the Jewish Palestinian Aramaic poems known from Geniza fragments and from the early mediaeval codexes. Though the individual poems cannot be assigned certain dates, at least some of them seem to have been composed as early as the fourth century C.E. The poems, most of which have never before been published, are accompanied by a full translation into Hebrew. They present us with a wealth of new material of significant value both for the study of their dialect and for our knowledge of Jewish non-liturgical poetry in Late Antiquity.
