Brock provides an indispensable bibliographic resource for Jacob of Serugh scholarship. This guide lists Jacob's mimre by biblical passage and liturgical events, uplifted saints and topics for reflection, as well as other works including prose and letters. Attention is given to helpful information about the mimre's present publication, editions, and available translations. Recommendations for secondary sources refer to genre and topic, such as biographies, general introductions to Jacob of Serugh, and narrowed interests for analysis. While this guide is written in English, indexed sources extend through Jacob of Serugh studies in other languages (French, German, Italian, and Syriac transcriptions).
