Pois no Tyndale Tech, de David Instone-Brewer – Tyndale House, Cambridge, Reino Unido – leio o post Searching Ancient Greek Literature:

The bread and butter of New Testament studies is finding out how a word is used elsewhere. Usually this means looking it up in a good lexicon, but a real scholar does a word search. This has recently got a whole lot easier. TLG and Perseus are still the best sources, but now there are new ways to use them, including instant lexical help which isn’t restricted to the speed of the web. Whether you want to do word searches throughout all Greek literature, or you just want to quickly look up a Greek word now and then, read on. I also want your help adding to the ultimate list of 5000 early Greek texts and translations.

A lista de recursos, explicados detalhadamente, é a seguinte:

• TLG – ‘All’ of Greek literature, in Greek
• Perseus – the earliest Greek literature, with English
• Electronic lexicons for Greek – quicker and better than paper
• Diogenese – the key to reading untranslated Greek
• Fonts – the easiest Unicode for Mac & PC
• Finding translations on the web

Visite o blog Tyndale Tech e examine você mesmo os valiosos recursos para o estudo do grego.

Medium Rare Vinyls – 2012

Em 2004 foi publicada uma aclamada enciclopédia das Línguas Antigas do Mundo, The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World’s Ancient Languages, obra dirigida por Roger D. Woodard, Professor of Classics at the State University of New York, Buffalo.

Pois vejo agora que, em maio de 2008, foram publicados alguns volumes derivados da enciclopédia, e que tratam de línguas de regiões específicas, como as Línguas Antigas da Síria-Palestina e da Arábia e as Línguas Antigas da Mesopotâmia, do Egito e de Aksum [que fica na Etiópia]. Isto facilita a aquisição! As descrições abaixo são da página da Amazon.com.

WOODARD, R. D. (ed.) The Ancient Languages of Syria-Palestine and Arabia. New York: Cambridge University Press, 2008, 282 p. – ISBN 9780521684989.

“This book, derived from the acclaimed Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World’s Ancient Languages, describes the ancient languages of Syria-Palestine and Arabia, for the convenience of students and specialists working in that area. Each chapter of the work focuses on an individual language or, in some instances, a set of closely related varieties of a language. Providing a full descriptive presentation, each of these chapters examines the writing system(s), phonology, morphology, syntax and lexicon of that language, and places the language within its proper linguistic and historical context. The volume brings together an international array of scholars, each a leading specialist in ancient language study. While designed primarily for scholars and students of linguistics, this work will prove invaluable to all whose studies take them into the realm of ancient language”. Roger D. Woodard is the Andrew V.V. Raymond Professor of Classics at the State University of New York, Buffalo.

Precisa estudar hebraico bíblico ou moderno?

Valiosos recursos estão listados no blog Língua Hebraica, da Professora Cláudia Andréa Prata Ferreira, da UFRJ.

Como escrever hebraico, grego e outras línguas do Antigo Oriente Médio usando fontes Unicode no Windows XP, Vista ou outro sistema?

Eu já anotara algo sobre isto no dia 19 de junho de 2007 em Como usar fontes Unicode no Windows XP.

Agora, novamente, no blog Tyndale Tech, veja as explicações datadas de sexta-feira passada. Muito interessantes.

No dia 29 de junho de 2006, publiquei o post Site de Jacob Richman ensina gratuitamente hebraico moderno. Leia.

Depois, prossiga aqui, pois vi hoje no biblioblog do Dr. Claude Mariottini o post Learn Hebrew. E retomo o asssunto, com mais dados.

Jacob Richman, de Ma’aleh Adumim, Israel, nos informa que, em seu site Learn Hebrew, o interessado pode aprender cerca de 1700 palavras e frases de hebraico moderno, organizadas em 46 categorias diferentes, como alfabeto, animais, clima, comida, esporte, computadores, corpo humano, família etc.

Tudo com clara pronúncia e tradução para 5 línguas. Com possibilidade de impressão e outros recursos mais.

Sei, por exemplo, que o alfabeto, com bela pronúncia, pode ser extremamente útil para minhas aulas…

Para os interessados em copta, uma gramática introdutória escrita por gente competente e fortemente recomendada por Mark Goodacre, do NT Gateway Weblog, onde vi a notícia:

LAYTON, B. Coptic in 20 Lessons: Introduction to Sahidic Coptic With Exercises & Vocabularies. Leuven: Peeters Publishers, 2007, viii + 204 p. ISBN 9789042918108.

Com o freeware Tyndale Unicode Font Kit. Fontes, mapas de teclados, todos os recursos… O que é Unicode? What is Unicode?

Eu já havia falado disto aqui em janeiro do ano passado.

Acho que os leitores já sabem o que é o Tyndale Tech, não? Bem, é só olhar aqui e aqui.

O último e-mail de David Instone-Brewer, of Tyndale House, Cambridge, UK, que chegou no dia 5 de junho, trata de Lexicons for Biblical Studies – Dicionários para os Estudos Bíblicos

Transcrevo abaixo os recursos indicados no e-mail. Recursos que compreendem uma coleção significativa de dicionários de línguas utilizadas nos estudos bíblicos e afins, tais como: hebraico, aramaico, grego, copta, siríaco, acádico, hieróglifos egípcios, hitita, latim…

“Lexicons are at the heart of Biblical Studies, but usually we neglect them because they’re cumbersome to use, and anyway our Bible software tells us what the word means. But without a real lexicon we miss so much – the nuance, context, and possible meanings. So I decided to make real lexicons easier to use. I’ve put them at 2LetterLookup – Bible Lexicons in Greek… Hebrew… Aramaic…“.
