The Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage is the first major Syriac encyclopedia, covering approximately 500 articles. It is part of a larger long-term project aiming at publishing a comprehensive encyclopedia of the Syriac heritage. A team of leading Syriac scholars have contributed to the encyclopedia, under the General Editorship of Dr. George Anton Kiraz. The Encyclopedia covers the Syriac heritage in its entirety from the dawn of Christianity until the modern day. The importance of such an encyclopedia need not be emphasized. Until this day, encyclopedic knowledge about the Syriac heritage has been obscured in various other encyclopedias on related topics. An encyclopedia for the complex field of Syriac studies has been sorely needed, and the Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage rises to the challenge.
