No time like the present, not even the glorious pioneering decades between 1870 and 1930, has seen such a high number of able and enthusiastic contributors to Syriac studies. 'Syriac Lexis and Lexica: Compiling ancient and modern vocabularies' brings together contributions from many different corners of lexicology and lexicography, and testifies to the richness of such subjects, which still offer scholars many possible approaches and research trajectories. This volume is the result of a round table 'Lexicologie et lexicographie syriaque', which took place at the 13th Syriac Symposium, held in Paris in July 2022.
