These are English translation of the Aramaic Inscriptions, a collection of writings in Aramaic, a language closely related to Hebrew, dating from the 3rd to the 10th centuries B.C.E. These inscriptions shed light on the biblical languages, especially the Aramaic portions of the Hebrew Scriptures, and upon the cultural and historical background of the Bible. The database of Aramaic Inscriptions was prepared by H.H. Hardy, II and Charles Otte, III, doctoral students in Northwest Semitic Philology at the University of Chicago. Transcriptions of the Aramaic Inscriptions, with lexical and morphological analysis, and separate glossary for the inscriptions are also available.
