The states on the south coast of the Persian Gulf were once part of the Ottoman Empire, even if only loosely so. Unfortunately, their history is rarely considered to be closely tied with that of the Ottomans. However, the ‘discovery’ of the Gulf by the Portuguese and the ultimate arrival of the British meant that the body of water would become a point of contact between the two empires. Zekeriya Kursun’s book explores the roots of the Anglo-Ottoman conflict in Qatar. Kursun starts by describing the Ottoman expansion into Qatar and takes the reader through the nineteenth century, when Ottoman control weakened due to British activity and into the twentieth century when Ottoman rule in the Arab world would finally cease. In addition to the main text, Kursun includes a collection of transcribed documents from the Ottoman archives and a selection of historical maps of Qatar.

The volume contains a section describing the Tiberian reading tradition, which is essential for a correct understanding of the vocalization system.

Isaac the Syrian's Spiritual Works

Isaac the Syrian lived the solitary life in the 7th century. He was born in Qatar and subsequently lived in present day Iraq and Iran. After life as a monk, then briefly as a bishop, he withdrew to live the solitary life. These discourses are primarily for solitaries to consolidate them in the love and mercy of God. In this volume, the text of Isaac V has also been included because of the light which it sheds on Apocatastasis, of increasing interest in academic and ecclesial circles.

The Syriac Writers of Qatar in the Seventh Century

The Syriac writers of Qatar themselves produced some of the best and most sophisticated writing to be found in all Syriac literature of the seventh century, but they have not received the scholarly attention that they deserve in the last half century. This volume seeks to redress this underdevelopment by setting the standard for further research in the sub-field of Beth Qatraye studies.
