For Those Looking For Things To Read In Syriac

For Those Looking For Things To Read In Syriac

So you’ve made it through a course or textbook on introductory Syriac. You’ve started reading the Syriac New Testament with the help of the Clavis Syriaca freely available on the Internet Archive. You’re starting to feel almost proficient – or at least like you’re ready to start diving into some of those very interesting and on the whole neglected sources in Syriac.

So now what? What’s next?

The next step is to go over the the CPART web site, and take advantage of the incredible wealth of resources they have made freely available in digital form (Adobe Acrobat files). Even if you’ve visited before, you should go back and see all the things marked [NEW] which have just been uploaded.

If you have any interest in Syriac and/or the history of the Eastern church in formerly Syriac-speaking parts of the world, what is available there will knock your socks off (or whatever the equivalent of that expression is in Syriac).

On behalf of all of us with such interests, I offer a heartfelt public “thank you” to those who have invested time, money and energy into this project!
