This volume surveys the 'Syriac world', the culture that grew up
among the Syriac-speaking communities from the second century CE
and which continues to exist and flourish today, both in its
original homeland of Syria and Mesopotamia, and in the worldwide
diaspora of Syriac-speaking communities. The five sections examine
the religion; the material, visual, and literary cultures; the
history and social structures of this diverse community; and Syriac
interactions with their neighbours ancient and modern. There are
also detailed appendices detailing the patriarchs of the different
Syriac denominations, and another appendix listing useful online
resources for students. The Syriac World offers the first complete
survey of Syriac culture and fills a significant gap in modern
scholarship. This volume will be an invaluable resource to
undergraduate and postgraduate students of Syriac and Middle
Eastern culture from antiquity to the modern era. Chapter 26 of
this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF
under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives
3.0 license.
