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.

The History of the ‘Slave of Christ’

The first critical editions and English translations of the two Syriac recensions of a fascinating text which narrates the story of a young Jewish child, Asher. After converting to Christianity and taking the name ʿAḇdā da-Mšiḥā (‘slave of Christ’), he is martyred by his father. In a detailed introduction, Butts and Gross challenge the use of this text by previous scholars as evidence for historical interactions between Jews and Christians, reevaluating its purpose and situating the story in its Late Antique Babylonian context.
