|  | The Edessa-Aleppo Syriac Codex of the Chronicle of Michael the Great by Gregorios Ibrahim
The invaluable Chronicle of Michael the Great makes the scholarly resources on this unique manuscript available together for the first time. Now inaccessible, the Chronicle is the largest medieval chronicle known, and is available here for the first time in history as a facsimile copy of the original manuscript. The Chronicle is one of the most important primary sources on the history of the Middle East, especially the period between the rise of Islam and the Crusades. |
|  | Studies in the Peshitta of Kings by Donald Walter
The first part of this monograph examines the manuscript variants of the Peshitta (the standard Syriac translation) of Kings, with special attention to the manuscript 9a1. Not only is the importance of 9a1 for the textual history of Kings established, but overwhelming evidence is found that the non-9a1 mss attest to an extensive intentional revision. The second part of the monograph reworks material from Walter’s dissertation on 2 Kings. The question of the Hebrew text used and the rendering of names are treated. Relations with the LXX and Targum are treated. |
|  | Bride of Light by Sebastian Brock
Syriac is particularly rich in poetry on Mary. Not only is some of this of great tenderness and beauty, but much is also highly imaginative. The present selection of translations includes lyric poems (several by St Ephrem), five lively dialogues, and a longer narrative poem on Mary and Joseph. |

A rare volume by the Jesuit priest Louis Cheikho, this study evolved from a survey covering the period 1800-1925 to a revised edition covering 1800-1900. With his characteristic sharp eye for Arabic literature, Cheikho presents here an overview of a century of literary achievement. Presented in its original Arabic, this volume preserves insights based on collections from Middle Eastern and European libraries, bringing together fragments of otherwise scattered material. A resident of Beirut, Cheikho intimately knew the literature of his culture and sought to bring it to the wider world. In Arabic.
Louis Cheikho (1859-1927) was a Jesuit priest in Lebanon and was one-time director of the Bibliothèque Oriental in Beirut. Fr. Cheikho collected poetry during the course of his travels to acquire manuscripts throughout Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey. | |
