Philoxenos Yuhanna Dolabani (1885-1969), Metropolitan of Mardin, was an important figure in the Syrian Orthodox church in the twentieth century and a prolific scholar, most of whose works remain unpublished and unknown to Western scholarship. Bishop Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim has here given us a biography of this key figure. Ibrahim includes in his book a sixty-page catalogue of the books contained in the patriarchal library of Afram Barsawm which Dolabani himself prepared. The biography also includes samples of Dolabani’s Syriac poetry and prose as well as a piece written by him in Arabic. A number of photos relating to Metropolitan Dolabani and his life are also included. This work is necessary reading for anyone seeking to understand the Syrian Orthodox Church in the modern period.

    Catalogue of the Syriac and Arabic Manuscripts at the Patriarchal Library of Charfet

    Isaac Armalet’s catalogue gives the first detailed description of the Syriac, Garshuni and Arabic manuscripts at the Syriac Catholic Patriarchal Library at the Monastery of Charfet in Lebanon. The manuscript collection was established there in the eighteenth century and contains biblical, liturgical, and theological texts of importance to understanding the Christian heritage of the East.

    History of the Za’faraan Monastery

    The History of the Za’faran Monastery is for the first time offered in English translation to the readers. It was written in 1917 by Patriarch Ignatius Aphram Barsoum (d. 1957) when he was still a monk at the monastery. The book details the history of the monastery from its inception until modern times. It deals with with everything, from construction to its significance as a center of Syriac learning and learned men. Without this small book, the first of its kind, a great and significant page of the history of the Syrian Church of Antioch would have been lamentably lost.
