The volume deals with the liturgical dimension of mystical, ascetical, and hymnographic texts and traditions within the Christian environment. Special attention is paid to liturgical texts of the Coptic and the Byzantine rite, especially in its Slavonic and Georgian versions. The volume also explores the Jewish background of some Christian liturgical settings and the afterlife of the Jewish priestly and liturgical traditions in the Christian milieu. The collection includes the critical edition of the early Slavonic version of the liturgy of the Presanctified Gifts accompanied by the historical study of this service.

Widely regarded as a premier journal dedicated to the study of Syriac, volume 11 includes the following articles: "Syriac manuscripts in the New York Public Library" by Iskander Sharbil Bcheiry, "Early Christian Angelomorphic Pneumatology: Aphrahat the Persian Sage" by Bogdan Bucur, and "John of Damascus and the Church in Syria in the Umayyad Era: The Intellectual and Cultural Milieu of Orthodox Christians in the World of Islam" by Sidney H. Griffith.

Victorian perceptions of Islam were not monochrome; some saw beyond stereotypical images, others reproduced them.

It suggests that presuppositions, not encounters per se, determine how we see cultural and religious others.

The small Assyrian community proved to be loyal, dedicated and hard-working citizens of Australia during the years 1914–1947.

This volume combines Targum studies with Judaic studies. The author assigns different Targums each to a respective particular “Sitz im Leben”, stressing the close connection between Targum and Midrash literature. She challenges the assumption that all extant Targums were compiled for the Synagogue. Instead, she suggests that Targum Onqelos might have fulfilled a function in the context of the early beth din and demonstrates that Pseudo-Jonathan can be linked with the rhetorical practices which abounded in later amoraic, educational circles.

Anton Baumstark presents the Arabic text and Latin translation of an Egyptian version of the Testamentum Domini Nostri Jesu Christi. Baumstark discusses the date of the text and compares the content of the liturgical prayers with various contemporary sources.
