James Rendel Harris was an eminent scholar of Biblical texts, best known for his discovery and editing of a great number of Syriac Biblical manuscripts. This piece uses known statistics of ancient autographs (that is, the original version of a written document) to posit the general appearance of the epistles. Using the average number of lines, spacing, and size of the pages he reconstructs the likely size, shape, and number of pages used to write the epistles and, by extension, other ancient letters such as those of Pliny the younger. The result is an enlightening new way of understanding the structure of the epistles as well as the conventions of other ancient letters, a topic of interest to students of the ancient world and the Bible.

The Bible in the Syriac Tradition (Third Edition)

This is a basic introduction to the various Syriac translations of the Bible and the ways in which they were used in the Syriac tradition. After an initial discussion of the general problems of biblical translation, the different surviving Syriac translations are outlined, as well as biblical manuscripts, lectionaires, printed editions, and translations. A reception history of the Syriac Bible covers the ways in which it has been interpreted, the commentary tradition, its use in preaching, in liturgy, and in spirituality. An appendix offers some comparative samples (in translation) to illustrate some of the differences between the different Syriac translations.
