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. |
|  | Catalogue of Syriac Manuscripts in Syrian Churches and Monasteries by Yuhanna Dolabani
This book is a collection of a number of small catalogues and hand-lists of manuscripts held in the possession of Syrian Orthodox churches, monasteries, and even individuals throughout the Middle East. The eminent scholar and bishop, Philoxenos Dolabani, carried out the enormous task of cataloguing and describing these little-known and difficult-to-access collections. |
|  | Redefining History on Pre-Islamic Accounts by Juan Pedro Monferrer-Sala
The present book deals with a comparative study of the contents and structure of the events that occurred in Najrān according to the MS Sinaitic Arabic 535, the most important of the Arabic witnesses in which those events were narrated. |
|  | Christian and Muslim Dialogues by David Bertaina
This historical survey examines Christian-Muslim dialogues from the rise of Islam until the eve of the Crusades. The narrative argues that Christians and Muslims appropriated the literary form of dialogue in a number of ways to commend their historical and religious worldviews. |
|  | The Sahidic Translation of the Book of Job by Émile Amélineau
Generally considered the leading pre-Islamic dialect of Coptic, Sahidic is an important language for Orientalists. Perhaps because of its body of original, non-translated material, Sahidic is the Coptic dialect most commonly studied outside of ecclesiastical settings. Sahidic, however, is also used as a language of translation, as in this booklet containing the biblical book of Job in that dialect. Unparalleled as a source for beginners in Coptic, this small portion of the Bible presents a familiar starting point. Coptic scholars will also find this resource worth their time as an historical example of the language and its study. Known also as Thebaic, this form of Coptic was used for translating major portions of the Bible. Since it was used by the church as well, this tract will be of interest to biblical scholars as well. |

Severus of Antioch is by far the most prolific and well known theologian of the non-chalcedonian churches. His life and writtings came to our knowledge in Syriac, hence he got the title of the "Crown of the Syriac Literature," however many texts relating to his life and works surivived in Coptic and Copto-Arabic tradition. In addition, many texts were ascribed to him. This book will publish and study the remaining texts in Coptic and in copto-Arabic as well as the texts ascribed to him. The last part of the book deals with the veneration of Severus of Antioch in the Coptic Church.
