John Healey’s, Leshono Suryoyo, is an introductory grammar for those wishing to learn to read Classical Syriac, one of the major literary dialects of Aramaic and the language of one of the main groups of Middle Eastern churches, including the Syrian Orthodox Church, the Church of the East, and the Chaldaean Church. From the first centuries of the Christian era, Syriac was used by the main theological and historical writers of this tradition (Ephrem the Syrian, Philoxenus of Mabbogh, Thomas of Marga, and Barhebraeus). It also continues to be used in worship. |
|  | De Catholicis seu Patriarchis Chaldaeorum et Nestorianorum by
This book, originally published in Rome in 1775, remains the major reference to the history of the patriarchs of the Church of the East (Chaldean and "Nestorian"). The volume is appended by another work by J.A. Assemani on church unity. |
|  | The Lord's Prayer in the Early Church by
The late Cambridge scholar, F. H. Chase, gives an insightful study on the Lord's prayer in the early Christian Church. |
|  | The Book of Governors: The Historia Monastica of Thomas of Marga AD 840 by
This narrative forms a history of the monasticism and asceticism of the Church of the East in the countries east of the Tigris. It is a valuable supplement to this history, as it is a period of existence in which little is known. |
|  | The Histories of Rabban Hormizd and Rabban Bar-Idta by
The importance of these biographies lies in the fact that their subjects founded two great monasteries which became centers for teaching and monasticism at a critical period of the Church of the East, during the seventh and following centuries. |

| Title: | The Nomocanon of Abdisho of Nisibis | | Subtitle: | A Facsimile Edition of MS 64 from the Collection of the Church of the East in Thrissur | | Series: | Syriac Manuscripts from Malabar 1 | | Availability: | In Print | | Publisher: | Gorgias Press |
The Nomocanon of Metropolitan Abdisho bar Brika of Nisibis (d. 1318) is one of the most important sources for the canon law of the East-Syrian Church. In Canon I of the council held in the year 1318, under the Catholicos Timothy II, this collection was proclaimed the authoritative canon code of the Church of the East. For its importance, this collection is comparable with the Nomocanon of Gregory Bar Hebraeus, a parallel work for the West Syrians. It remains the binding legal collection of the East Syrian Church in the present day. The Nomocanon was the subject of numerous studies and publications. Manuscript Trichur 64, is the oldest known manuscript of this work. It was written during the lifetime of the author and, as such, is of special importance. At the same time, it is the oldest dated manuscript in the library in the Metropolitan Palace of the Church of the East in Trichur. Edited by Istvan Perczel and prefaced by Mar Aprem, this volume is introduced by Hubert Kaufhold, who is preparing the critical edition of the Nomocanon. His introduction contains the most precise and exhaustive information to date on Abdisho, the Nomocanon, and the Trichur manuscript collection.
This volume comes with a CD containing colored images of the entire manuscript. Table of Contents
