An Assyrian Grammar : For Comparative Purposes

Omtale

The philologist Archibald Henry Sayce (1845–1933) had studied Middle Eastern languages and scripts since adolescence. In this 1872 grammar, using transliteration rather than cuneiform, Sayce first considers the place of Assyrian in the Semitic language family and its development over time, then presents its phonology, morphology, syntax and prosody.
