Owen Lattimore, a historian of Central Asia, presents the first report on Kwei-hua, the ruined city of the Syriac-Ongut Turks. The city once contained distinctively Christian monuments; Lattimore describes the ruins and discusses the history of the area since the Mongol empire. Photographs and maps are included. Scholars interested in comparative history, particularly the broad reach of Syriac-speaking societies across Asia, will find this an intriguing read.

`Enbe men Karmo Suryoyo (Bunches of Grapes from the Syriac Vineyard)

`Enbe men Karmo Suryoyo is a chrestomathy intended primarily for students who have covered the essentials of Syriac morphology and syntax, but it should also interest anyone who enjoys Syriac literature in general. The twenty-six selections consist of examples of Syriac prose and poetry from the second until the thirteenth centuries AD. The readings reflect a wide and varied range of subject matter. Inevitably, selections of a religious nature predominate, but historical, ethnographic, chemical, astronomical, and linguistic excerpts produced by famous Syriac authors, as well as less familiar ones, have been included. A Syriac-English glossary and an index of grammatical points are included.
