JCSSS is a refereed journal published annually by the Canadian
Society for Syriac Studies Inc. (CSSS), located at the Department
of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations, University of Toronto,
Toronto, Ontario, Canada. JCSSS contains the transcripts of public
lectures presented at the CSSS and possibly other articles and book
reviews. JCSSS focuses on the vast Syriac literature, which is
rooted in the same soil from which the ancient Mesopotamian and
biblical literatures sprung; on Syriac art that bears Near Eastern
characteristics as well as Byzantine and Islamic influences; and on
archaeology, unearthing in the Middle East and the rest of Asia and
China the history of the Syriac-speaking people: Assyrians,
Chaldeans, Maronites and Catholic and Orthodox Syriacs. Modern
Syriac Christianity and contemporary vernacular Aramaic dialects
are also the focus of JCSSS. The languages of the Journal are
English, French and German, and quotations from ancient sources are
given in the original languages and in translation. The articles
are interdisciplinary and scholarly; the Editorial Committee brings
together scholars from four American, Canadian, and European
universities. The CSSS that publishes JCSSS was founded in 1999 at
the University of Toronto, Department of Near and Middle Eastern
Civilizations, as part of the latter's academic programme in
Aramaic and Syriac languages and literatures. It was incorporated
under the Canada Corporations Act in January 23, 1999. This volume
includes articles by Alain Desreumaux, Alexander Treiger, Reagan
Patrick, Narmin Muhammad Amin 'Ali, Amir Harrak, and Sihaam Khan.
