The second half of the 19th century saw a noticeable rise in the interest of Neo-Aramaic dialects. This volume by Adalbert Merx (1838-1909) is a collection of texts from the dialect of Urmia. The texts include stories, material on baptism, a wedding, Araq and wine, history of the region, and several letters or parts thereof. The texts are given in a Serto script fully vocalized with eastern vowels and a parallel German translation (except the version of Luke 1, which has a transcription instead of translation). There is no glossary, but the translation and the notes, which point out words not clear from (classical) Syriac, including foreign (Persian, Kurdish, and Turkish) words, fill that void in less space. Linguists, folklorists, and historians will find this collection a welcome reappearance.

Jacob of Sarug’s Homily on Zacchaeus the Tax Collector

This edition of Mar Jacob of Sarug's (d. 521) homily on Zacchaeus the tax-collector makes the point that Christ’s path goes by those most in need of repentance. Zacchaeus recognizes his shortcomings and is healed by Christ, who then makes Zacchaeus a mirror or sign for all humanity to see. The volume constitutes a fascicle of The Metrical Homilies of Mar Jacob of Sarug, which, when complete, will contain the original Syriac text of Jacob's surviving sermons, fully vocalized, alongside an annotated English translation.

Jacob of Sarug’s Homilies on the Six Days of Creation (The Second Day)

In this second part of Homily 71, On the Fashioning of Creation, Jacob treats the making of the firmament: what it was, where it was, what – as far as can be determined – was placed above it and what below it, its purpose and utility for humanity, and the importance of its place in the Genesis account of the six day progression of creation.

Jacob of Sarug's pastoral concern and rhetorical acumen have earned him the title “the lyre of the Holy Spirit”. This volume presents both a text and translation of Jacob’s exposition of a passage central to Christian liturgy and piety.
