This work provides a range of information, previously unpublished, essential to the study of the Peshitta Gospel text as a translation of the Greek and as a literary work in its own right. It is designed to serve both scholar and student. The Key, in which each word is classified according to its Syriac root, provides ( a ) a complete analytical concordance, ( b ) the notation of the part of speech for each principal Syriac term, ( c ) an English translation of each word cited corresponding to its use in the Peshitta Gospels, ( d ) Syriac words of similar meaning, ( e ) the corresponding Greek term for each Syriac term, ( f ) an English index, and ( g ) a directory at the end of the work to facilitate the swift location of the Syriac word being sought. The Key can be used as a concordance, lexicon, thesaurus, or resource for the critical investigation of the Syriac text of the Peshitta Gospels.
