Bible Dictionary:."The
Targum
of Onkelos, that is, the translation of the Pentateuch
into Chaldee, affords the next and purest specimen
of that language. The oldest specimen of this language that we have is
contained in the Peshito or Syriac
version of the Old and New Testament, made perhaps within a century after
the time of Christ. A multitude of writers in this dialect
have flourished, many of whose
writings are probably still extant,
although but few have been printed in Europe. In Arabic,
there exists a great variety of manuscripts
and books, historical, scientific and literary.
A familiar knowledge of this and its kindred
dialects throws much valuable light on the Old Testament Scriptures."
