No division of literature, perhaps, would serve better as a kind of chrestomathy for illustrating the positions on which the scheme of this series is based. ❋ George Saintsbury (1889)
The lengthy chrestomathy (more than 40 pages in the recently released trade paper edition) is based on at least two actual reference works and provides not only an understanding of the words, but often their etymology and usages. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The lengthy chrestomathy [5] (more than 40 pages in the recently released trade paper edition) is based on at least two actual reference works and provides not only an understanding of the words, but often their etymology and usages. ❋ Unknown (2009)
The volume is a chrestomathy (i.e. a selection of readings) "intended primarily for students who have covered the essentials of Syriac morphology and syntax" (p.viii) and as such it makes a logical place to go next when one has completed John Healey's Leshono Suryoyo: First Studies in Syriac. ❋ James F. McGrath (2010)
And so all who are interested in Syriac language and literature, for whatever reason, will surely be grateful to Martin Zammit and to Gorgias Press for this chrestomathy. ❋ James F. McGrath (2010)
For instance, Nestle's classic Syriac grammar and chrestomathy lacks many of the features that make Zammit's so helpful for students at this stage. ❋ James F. McGrath (2010)
Meanwhile, I'm enjoying working on Syriac, and trying my hand at not only the Peshitta but also a new chrestomathy i.e. selection of texts published by Gorgias Press, `Enbe men Karmo Suryoyo. ❋ James F. McGrath (2008)
There are other potentially useful resources for Syriac online: Eberhard Nestle's Syriac grammar with chrestomathy for those who have a good grasp of German, the Syriac grammar and Elements of Syriac by Philips, and the Syriac grammar by Uhlemann. ❋ James F. McGrath (2008)
Another lovely gift from mollpeartree, who discovered both volumes of this chrestomathy sheltering in the dim recesses of the Printer's Row Book Fair one year. ❋ Princeofcairo (2006)
The seventy-nine pages of the present chrestomathy do indeed represent a convenient gathering of Samuel Beckett's recent activities; but they are neither very recent nor, in the crude, quantitative sense, very copious. ❋ Adams, Robert M. (1969)
During a sojourn in the Baltic region he collected texts of spoken Lithuanian and organized them into a grammar and chrestomathy. ❋ HENRY M. HOENIGSWALD (1968)
He will be entertained by the chrestomathy of Bokhari; he will be entranced by the story of the winsome and dainty Bidasari. ❋ Various (N/A)
I had learned to read Sanscrit and to translate easy passages in the chrestomathy, and devoted myself with special zeal to the study of the Latin grammar and prosody. ❋ Ebers, Georg, 1837-1898 (1892)
It is, however, a useful though incomplete and one-sided chrestomathy of Mr Arnold's style from the formal point of view, illustrating both his minor devices of phrase and the ingenious ❋ George Saintsbury (1889)
This admirable book has not been, and from its mixture of taste and learning is never likely to be, superseded as an introduction to, and chrestomathy of, the subject. ❋ George Saintsbury (1889)
I had learned to read Sanscrit and to translate easy passages in the chrestomathy, and devoted myself with special zeal to the study of the ❋ Georg Ebers (1867)
Minor recommendations are, the inviting character of the print, and the moderate price of $1 25 (the chrestomathy being part of the same volume.) ❋ Unknown (1818)
