Yes, I have this work and have referred to it a lot. It is a grammatical breakdown of every word in the Peshitta gospels, in Serto script, showing how each word is understood, its grammatical analysis, and how it relates to Greek and Hebrew equivalents. If you want to understand the Peshitta and read it in the original Aramaic, and if you can read the Serto script even slightly, and if you have even a basic understanding of Aramaic or Syriac grammar, you will benefit enormously from this work. Even if you can only read Serto, this work will be indispensable and you will learn an enormous amount, and your understanding of the grammar will increase. I would recommend that everyone interested in the Peshitta read this book!

An electronic download of Clavis Syriaca is available, but the publisher at Lulu has done an enormous amount of work in converting the download to true black & white, so the published work is still worth getting even if you can get a free download.

Thanks for the quote - the link isn't working here - can you please repost? Why is it no longer available on Lulu? That is a great resource.

Sorry, I can't say why the link does not work for you. I click on it and it works. Try going to Google Books and do a search for "Clavis Syriaca".
