By Yuhanna Dolabani; Edited with an Introduction by Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim

Series: Dar Mardin: Christian Arabic and Syriac Studies from the Middle East 28

ISBN: 978-1-60724-259-8

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.

History of the Za’faraan Monastery

By Ignatius Aphram I Barsoum; Translated by Matti Moosa

Series: Publications of the Archdiocese of the Syriac Orthodox Church 7

ISBN: 978-1-59333-639-4

The History of the Za’faran Monastery is for the first time offered in English translation to the readers. It was written in 1917 by Patriarch Ignatius Aphram Barsoum (d. 1957) when he was still a monk at the monastery. The book details the history of the monastery from its inception until modern times. It deals with with everything, from construction to its significance as a center of Syriac learning and learned men. Without this small book, the first of its kind, a great and significant page of the history of the Syrian Church of Antioch would have been lamentably lost.

The History of Tur Abdin

English Translation by Matti Moosa

By Aphram I Barsoum

Series: Publications of the Archdiocese of the Syriac Orthodox Church 4

ISBN: 978-1-59333-715-5

Until now this first insider-history of Tur Abdin has been unavailable to non-Semitic readers. Written by Patriarch Ignatius Aphram Barsoum in Syriac, this history of the mountainous region in southeastern Asia Minor called Tur Abdin has not found wide readership because of language barriers. This new edition produced by Gorgias Press is a trilingual edition: the original Syriac, Arabic, and English translations.
