|  | An Introduction to Syriac Studies by Sebastian Brock
This Introduction aims to provide basic guidance to important areas of Syriac studies. The relevance of Syriac studies to a variety of other fields is explored. A brief orientation to the history of Syriac literature is offered, and Syriac is set within the context of the other Aramaic dialects. A thorough discussion on important tools (Instrumenta Studiorum) is presented; topics include grammars, dictionaries, the Bible in Syriac, histories of Syriac literature, bibliographical aids and relevant series, periodicals, and encyclopedias. This Introduction should prove useful both for the student beginning Syriac studies and for scholars working in adjacent fields. |
|  | Ancient Syriac Documents by William Cureton
Cureton’s book was first begun as early as 1848 on the basis of manuscripts in the collection of the British Museum. It furnished nineteenth-century students of Syriac Christianity with a wealth of new resources and continues to be just as valuable for students today.

| Title: | Antioch and Canterbury | | Subtitle: | The Syrian Orthodox Church and the Church of England (1874-1928) | | Availability: | In Print | | Publisher: | Gorgias Press |
This study helps to provide an understanding of the Syrian Orthodox Church in the more recent past. In particular, it seeks to relate how that Church experienced contact with the Church of England. As will be seen, the exchange was often fraught with misunderstanding. Christians in the Middle East have suffered by having co-religionists who represented a culture and power often regarded by Middle Eastern states as hostile. Neither is it easy for an "Established Church" to put itself in the position of a minority and understand the resultant concerns. ReviewsFr. Taylor is commended for "having skillfully documented these little known ecumenical contacts, his even-handed assesment of the material and his engaging narrative; whilst the admirable Gorgias Press has made an invaluable contribution to schlolary studies."--Abba Seraphim Table of Contents
