A Manual of Babylonian Jewish Aramaic
David Marcus
University Press of America
An introduction to the grammar of the principal language of the Babylonian Talmud. This book utilizes the inductive method, whereby grammar is learned directly as it is encountered in the text. The texts on which the manual is based are mainly nonlegal, although legal texts are included in the later chapters of the book. Geared primarily for beginners in Talmud and Jewish studies, some knowledge of Hebrew is expected by the author.
