Andreas,
Whatever happened to the referenced bibliographic data that you mentioned in a past thread?
My email address is jeff@attoz.com or you can post the information here on the forum. Thank you.

+++ No, no joke intended.
If there was ever any irony intended then only for these reasons:
A few days ago we/my family had just invited our Aramean friends who brought a sampler of old recipes hand-written in Syriac – joy of joys ! - but in a mixture of Western and Eastern dialects - sigh.
+++ So while we men were breeding on the higher secrets of decipherment, terminology and grammar – the Ladies simply took fun in preparing the meal out of a mixture of tradition, hearsay, happy guess plus a little inspiration altogether with a never missing sense for culinarian accidents (they giggled so long that the traditional Assyrian/Persian bottom crust burnt way too much upwards).
+++ Jeff, just because it’s only a manuscript I can’t send you this very "book" we use for now, but I know of some other ones – published by the Aramean organisations here in Germany which BTW are so much hated by the Assyrians (even if often being of the same family!)
In case of interest I’ll send you the relevant bibliographic data.
