St. Ephrem's commentary is one of the oldest surviving commentaries on Genesis, and its manuscript is considered one of the oldest surviving Syriac manuscripts. The text is in prose and represents the beauty of Ephrem's style. Sauma's edition provides the Syriac text with an Arabic tanslation. The volume also gives a long introduction to the Syriac exegesis in its eastern and western traditions. Ephrem's Commentary is useful for the general readers, the clergymen as well as for the student of Syriac studies.

Ephrem's Syriac text is edited here in Serto (West Syriac) and is completely vocalized. Each page of the Syriac text is followed directly by its Arabic translation. This will help the reader in following the text and its translation easily. The facing translation can also be used as a tool to study Syriac. Students not familiar with Arabic will find the vocalized Syriac text helpful in reading St. Ephrem.

This book is a collection of newspaper reports documenting the massacres and genocides of Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrian minorities who inhabited Asia Minor for many millennia, by the Ottoman Turks and later the Kemalists.

The Ascetical Homilies of Mar Isaac of Nineveh

St. Isaac of Nineveh, or, as he is sometimes known, St. Isaac the Syrian, was born in the region of modern Qatar and lived during the seventh century. Ordained as the bishop of Nineveh sometime between 661 and 681 CE, Isaac withdrew from his ecclesiastical office after only five months, retiring to live as a monastic hermit in the mountains of southeastern Iraq. Translated from their original Syriac into a number of other languages, St. Isaac’s spiritual writings have been read by Christian monastics for centuries. The present volume gives the original Syriac text edited by Paul Bedjan.
