Bar Hebraeus’s Book of the Pupils of the Eye is a "compendium of logic dealing with the essential points of Aristotle’s Organon" (from the introduction). It is essentially a textbook for beginners, a precursor to the more thorough work Book of the Cream of Wisdom, often called the Book of the Wisdom of Wisdom . Herman Janssens’s introduction provides the reader with insight into the history of the use of classical literature in later medieval Syriac literature and education. It also includes a careful discussion of the extant texts for this work. The critical reproduction of the Syriac text makes this work available to Syriac students and scholars. The philosopher and the historian will be intrigued by the status and use of Aristotle’s work at this time as well as Bar Hebraeus’s treatment of the material.

Herman F. Janssens was one time professor at the University of Liége in Belgium. He is known for his study of Bar Hebraeus’s philosophical thought and a work on Ibn Batuta, both appearing in French.

The New Syriac Primer, 2nd Edition

A truly useful introduction to the Syriac language is a rare find. This practical initiation to the study of this ancient language of the Christian church speaks with clarity and authority. A fruitful integration of scholarly introduction and practical application, this primer is more than a simple grammar or syntactic introduction to the language. Writing in a style designed for beginners, Kiraz avoids technical language and strives for a reader-friendly inductive approach. Readings from actual Syriac texts allow the student to experience the language first hand and the basics of the grammar of the language are ably explained. The book comes with downloadable material so that readers may listen to all reading sentences and text passages in the book.

A Redaction History of the Pentateuch Targums

This volume combines Targum studies with Judaic studies. The author assigns different Targums each to a respective particular “Sitz im Leben”, stressing the close connection between Targum and Midrash literature. She challenges the assumption that all extant Targums were compiled for the Synagogue. Instead, she suggests that Targum Onqelos might have fulfilled a function in the context of the early beth din and demonstrates that Pseudo-Jonathan can be linked with the rhetorical practices which abounded in later amoraic, educational circles.
