Among the earliest known sources from the Persian Church, the 4th-century Demonstrations of Aphrahat reflect a form of Christianity much closer to its Jewish roots than contemporary Western forms. Their mix of ascetic instruction, polemic against Judaism, and theological reflection provides an invaluable glimpse into this otherwise poorly documented period. |
|  | Jacob of Sarug's Homilies on the Nativity by Thomas Kollamparampil
This volume gives a bilingual Syriac-English edition of Saint Jacob of Sarug’s homilies on the Nativity. The Syriac text is fully vocalized, and the translation is annotated with a commentary and biblical references. The volume constitutes a fascicle of Gorgias’s Complete Homilies of Saint Jacob of Sarug. |
|  | A Syriac Lexicon by Michael Sokoloff
The second edition of Carl Brockelmann's Lexicon Syriacum, published in 1928, is a highly reputable Syriac dictionary. However, its Latin language and the ordering of words according to triliteral Semitic roots make its use difficult for most students and scholars. This revised edition by Sokoloff renders meanings in English, arranges words alphabetically, and includes many useful tools on a CD. |

Set in the fifth-century, the History of Paul and John narrates the wonders experienced and performed by two holy men in their life together in Edessa and on their pilgrimage to Sinai. This is the first published edition and translation of this fascinating Syriac hagiography.
