GENERAL COMMENTS
Part of a series of (at least) four books by the same author, the first two (1989) published by SIL, the two others jointly with an Assyrian/Suryoyo publisher: Bet-Froso Nsibin. From the foreword in this publication in a latinized version of the vernacular Syriac language (Turoyo) [ii] provides a few lines on this ambitious but mostly unsuccessful project (as far as the introduction of this latinized version was concerned): "A project for the development of educational aids in Turoyo is being carried out by Assyrian/Syrian staff at the National Swedish Institute for Teaching Material (SIL). Dr. Yusuf Ishaq acting as scientific advisor. We hope that this story will enable students to make closer contact with their own culture. We also believe that it can help reinforce understanding between parents and children."
Note that this first publication (different from the others) is in a lying format (24x16,5 cm).
