A nerdy digression

I was trying to figure out what "Chaldaic" (Eisenstein, 203-05) meant. From what I can tell, it's another name for Aramaic, or for the Aramaic dialect spoken by Christians and Jews. At any rate, none of the columns in the Polyglot reproduced 204-05 appears to be "Chaldaic". The one on the left is apparently Hebrew -- at any rate, it's in Hebrew letters. The two in the middle are clearly Latin, the one on the right Greek.

This has nothing to do with anything, I was just sharing.
