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
