520 Aramaic is a constant thread running through the various
civilizations of the Near East, ancient and modern, from
1000 BCE to the present, and has been the language of
small principalities, world empires, and a fair share of
the Jewish-Christian tradition. Holger Gzella describes
its cultural and linguistic history as a continuous
evolution from its beginnings to the advent of Islam. For
the first time the individual phases of the language,
their socio-historical underpinnings, and the textual
sources are discussed comprehensively in light of the
latest linguistic and historical research and with ample
attention to scribal traditions, multilingualism, and
language as a marker of cultural self-awareness. Many new
observations on Aramaic are thereby integrated into a
coherent historical framework.
