Classical Ethiopic by Josef Tropper

Classical Ethiopic by Josef Tropper

A translation and revision of Josef Tropper's Altathiopisch: Grammatik des Ge'ez mit UEbungstexten und Glossar, providing a comprehensive grammar of Classical Ethiopic, the historical language of Ethiopian Christianity. Uses both the Ethiopian script and transliterations to aid the reader's understanding of the language.

“For years now the reviewer has been tutoring students using Tropper’s Alt thiopisch as a reference grammar alongside TO. Lambdin’s Introduction to Classical Ethiopic (Geʿez) (Missoula 1978; or its 2002 Italian adaptation by O. Raineri), whose step-by-step presentation of the grammar and copious graded exercises make teaching and learning Classical Ethiopic a pleasant task. This translation and adaptation by Hasselbach-Andee will equally serve as a solid reference work.”

—Augustinus Gianto Orientalia

“A useful introductory grammar to Ethiopic.”

—Michael Waltisberg Bibliotheca Orientalis

“For almost two decades, Josef Tropper’s Altäthiopisch has been the standard grammar for Gəˁəz. This English translation by Rebecca Hasselbach-Andee is even more useful thanks to the addition of the Ethiopic script throughout. For students and scholars alike, Classical Ethiopic is the best grammar of Gəˁəz available in any language.”

—Aaron M. Butts,author of Language Change in the Wake of Empire: Syriac in Its Greco-Roman Context

“[This book] provides invaluable access in the English language to a methodical and detailed study of Classical Ethiopic that has been successfully and appropriately updated and revised to ensure its continued relevance for decades to come.”

—Alexander McCarron Journal of Jewish Studies
