J.A. Fitzmyer translated Vogt's lexicon into English because so few people, even biblical scholars, read Latin today, or at least consider a lexicon of Biblical Aramaic written in Latin of little value . The value of Vogt's lexicon is found in the examples of the use of a given word in extrabiblical texts, which he has supplied. In this translation he has added further examples from the many Aramaic texts among the Dead Sea Scrolls, published after Vogt had finished his work.
