Review "There can be little doubt that Sokoloff is the most prolific lexicographer of Aramaic of his generation... Sokoloff has furnished the scholarly community with essential reference tools of a high standard, for which we are grateful." -- Siam Bhayro, Journal of Biblical Literature Review "Sokoloff and his colleagues have produced two monumental volumes, now immediately and undoubtedly the standard works in the field." -- Daniel J.
