The second edition of Carl Brockelmann's Lexicon Syriacum, published in 1928, is a highly reputable Syriac dictionary. However, its Latin language and the ordering of words according to triliteral Semitic roots make its use difficult for most students and scholars. This revised edition by Sokoloff renders meanings in English, arranges words alphabetically, and includes many useful tools on a CD. |

The Bodleian Library in Oxford currently holds an unpublished historical document in Syriac containing precious historical information with regards to the ordination of bishops, priests, monks, and deacons. These ordinations took place in the region of Southeastern Anatolia and in a few places in Syria during the 16th century and the first half of the 17th century. The interest of this list goes much beyond its role of recording successive ordinations. It also offers factual data related to villages, monasteries, churches, and ecclesiastical leaders who played important roles within the Syriac Orthodox Church during the Ottoman period for an entire century. Bcheiry gives the text and translation, and focuses on the importance of the data found in this historical list which he compares with other historical data found in other sources. Table of Contents
