This article describes the historical development of Armenian translations of Syriac literature from the 5th century, Intermediate and Clinician Periods. Much of the works in the 5th century are attributed to Ephrem the Syrian, containing commentaries, prayers, and hymns. During the Intermediate Period, translations from Syriac slowed, but significant works include letters around the time of the Council of Chalcedon. The Clinician Period is one of renewed interest, especially for commentary, accounts of saints, and other historical works. Mathews refers to the latter period as the “Golden Age” of Syriac-Armenian translation. An appendix lists prominent works in each of the three periods.

The Syriac Presence in the Armenian Translation of the Bible, with Special Reference to the Book of

Syriac and Armenian Christians interacted regionally and theologically. This paper investigates whether it is thus a viable proposition to deduce Syriac readings from Armenian biblical translations. Cox concludes on a case-basis because extensive use of a similar source text remains questionable.

Leshono Suryoyo

John Healey’s, Leshono Suryoyo, is an introductory grammar for those wishing to learn to read Classical Syriac, one of the major literary dialects of Aramaic and the language of one of the main groups of Middle Eastern churches, including the Syrian Orthodox Church, the Church of the East, and the Chaldaean Church. From the first centuries of the Christian era, Syriac was used by the main theological and historical writers of this tradition (Ephrem the Syrian, Philoxenus of Mabbogh, Thomas of Marga, and Barhebraeus). It also continues to be used in worship.
