A comparative chronology of the Patriarchs of the Church of the East based on twenty-two sources, five of which are previously unpublished. Benjamin reveals a great number of differences between the sources. Benjamin also highlights inconsistencies, omissions, errors and dates of succession of some patriarchs that appear to have been based on assumption. |
|  | Acts of Saint George by E. Brooks
The classic hagiography of Saint George is presented here by E. W. Brooks. He gives a critical edition of the Syriac accompanied by an annotated English translation of the Acts.

|  | The History of Tur Abdin by Aphram I Barsoum
Until now this first insider-history of Tur Abdin has been unavailable to non-Semitic readers. Written by Patriarch Ignatius Aphram Barsoum in Syriac, this history of the mountainous region in southeastern Asia Minor called Tur Abdin has not found wide readership because of language barriers. This new edition produced by Gorgias Press is a trilingual edition: the original Syriac, Arabic, and English translations. |
|  | A History of the Holy Eastern Church: The Patriarchate of Alexandria by John Neale
The first volume of an ambitious project to document the history of the early church, this is one of John Mason Neale’s crowning achievements. Meticulously researched, Neale’s treatment of the early church in Egypt is among the required reading of any student of oriental Christianity still today. Beginning with the traditions of St. Mark’s foundation of the Egyptian church, the developments of Christianity are traced up through the controversies associated with Nestorius and the Council of Chalcedon. In Neale’s characteristically readable style, the early stages of Eastern Christianity and its noteworthy figures are presented here with historical accuracy and authority. The origins of monasticism, the troubles and triumphs of St. Athanasius, the Arian heresy, and the ecumenical councils are all treated in this important study of the church in Egypt. |

The classic exploration of Syriac liturgical melodies, the work of Dom Jeannin has no rivals. Beginning with a discussion of the nature of Beth Gazo, the treasury of chants, this work provides a careful introduction to the various types of liturgical music found in the church. Homilies in strophic form, the popular poetry of the fifth-century qole, St. Ephrem's mudrosho, antiphonal psalms, anthems (mawrbe), the Greek Canon, melismatic hymns or litanies, and melodies from Mosul are all part of the service music and hymnody discussed in the introduction and presented with their melodies in Syriac. This scarce source contains a wealth of information on Syriac liturgical practice and its accompanying music.
Jules Cécilien Jeannin was a priest of the Benedictine order. Noted as a musician as well as a musicologist, he was an authority on Syrian chant. Associated with the abbey of Hautacombe, he made lasting contributions to the study of Gregorian Chant for which he is still cited.
