This scholarly achievement presents the first new dictionary of Jewish Babylonian Aramaic in a century, offering a complete lexicon of vocabulary from literary and epigraphic sources used by the Jewish community in Babylon from the third to the twelfth century C.E. Author Michael Sokoloff primarily draws from the Babylonian Talmud, a key work in Jewish literature, while also incorporating a diverse range of sources, including inscriptions, legal documents, and other rabbinical texts. Unlike previous dictionaries that combined various Aramaic dialects, this work focuses solely on one dialect, preserving distinctions in meaning and nuance. Sokoloff leverages the latest linguistic and textual scholarship to ensure the accuracy of his lexical entries, which are organized into six parts: lemma or root, part of speech, English gloss, etymology, semantic features, and bibliographic references. An essential feature is the index of cited passages, enabling readers to easily locate the semantics of specific words within texts. This comprehensive and up-to-date reference is not only valuable for linguists and specialists in Jewish Aramaic literature but also beneficial for lay readers and students seeking to understand the Babylonian Talmud.
