I have Rosenthal's 5 volumes and I honestly don't think you could do better.

Greetings,

I was looking to see if the "B Aramaic" still existed but perhaps it does not. I've
been looking at some various Aramaic grammars. Pretty thin pickings. I have the works by Alger
Johns and Stevenson. I have not seen Greenspahn or Rosenthal but I hear they are good (esp the
latter). Anyone here familiar with David Marcus' grammar or the volume on "Galilean
Aramaic" by Caspar Levias? Perhaps the Bergstrasser and Brockelmann give a good overview of
Aramaic?

I feel pretty confident with Hebrew and I'm mostly concerned with the
biblical era (non-Syriac) Aramaic. It seems that most of the available
grammar just concentrate on the small portions of Aramaic in the bible and
ignore the DSS, Targums, and other important writings.

Any thoughts?
