The Abrohom Nuro library is arguably the richest private collection of Syriac material, especially containing rare titles published in the Middle East in the 1800s and early 1900s. In 2003, Nuro was commissioned by Beth Mardutho, The Syriac Institute, to catalogue his collection for purposes of acquisitions. During the next few years, he composed a checklist of the collection. The remaining volumes in this series will produce rare books from the Nuro collection.
