So you\u2019ve made it through a course or textbook<\/a> on introductory Syriac. You\u2019ve started reading the Syriac<\/a> New Testament<\/a> with the help of the Clavis Syriaca freely available on the Internet Archive<\/a>. You\u2019re starting to feel almost proficient \u2013 or at least like you\u2019re ready to start diving into some of those very interesting and on the whole neglected sources in Syriac.<\/p>\n

So now what? What\u2019s next?<\/p>\n

The next step is to go over the the CPART web site<\/a>, and take advantage of the incredible wealth of resources they have made freely available in digital form (Adobe Acrobat files). Even if you\u2019ve visited before, you should go back and see all the things marked [NEW] which have just been uploaded.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

On behalf of all of us with such interests, I offer a heartfelt public \u201cthank you\u201d to those who have invested time, money and energy into this project!<\/p>\n
