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. This volume is an important resource for all interested in Syriac and Christian Arabic and is the third in a three-part series which also includes Dolabani’s handwritten catalogues of the manuscripts of Dayr Mar Marqus in Jerusalem and Dayr al-Za‘faran in southeastern Turkey. A lengthy introduction by Bishop Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim contains information about Dolabani’s life and works.
