A:

Yes, in the comparisons of the language it does take for granted knowledge of Biblical Hebrew, though the author does not presuppose that everyone has had that background. The focus of the Grammar is on the Ezra/Daniel portions. There are some other writings mentioned in the Appendices, but Targums and Peshitta are not dealt with.
