• In fact, many Syriac grammars have reading exercises where the writings of Bar Hebraeus are studied. The Chrestomathy (Reading Exercises) often cover the work of Bar Hebraeus as well as Biblical texts such as the Aramaic Old Testament and the Aramaic New Testament.
• Consider, then, how important Aramaic continued to be - all the way from the time of Jesus, onwards through the centuries when the Talmud was written, through the centuries of the Massoretes, through Moslem times, through to the Crusades, and beyond.
• And Aramaic is still used today. It is still a liturgical language in many churches across the world. The Aramaic Bible is still studied, read and used.
