The British Library possesses one of the most important collections
of Syriac manuscripts in the world, with large numbers dating back
to the second half of the first millennium CE. The publication of
important Syriac texts from these manuscripts has been going on for
some 180 years and still continues. The aim of the present volume
is to provide a guide to these scattered publications: following
the sequence of the shelf-marks (call numbers), for each manuscript
indication is given of what texts have been published from it. For
convenience, a concordance between Wright's Catalogue numbers and
shelf-marks is provided, along with a list of palimpsests and of
joins with manuscripts in other libraries, in particular with those
still in the Library of Dayr al-Surian in Egypt, the monastery
which was the source of over 500 manuscripts and fragments
purchased by the British Museum in the mid nineteenth century.
