Until now this first insider-history of Tur Abdin has been
unavailable to non-Semitic readers. Written by Patriarch Ignatius
Aphram Barsoum in Syriac, this history of the mountainous region in
southeastern Asia Minor called Tur Abdin has not found wide
readership because of language barriers. This new edition produced
by Gorgias Press is a trilingual edition: the original Syriac, and
Arabic and English translations.
Mor Ignatius Aphram I Barsoum presents a comprehensive history of
the literature of the Syriac tradition.
Author Ephraam Barsom deliberates on the logistics of translation
versus transliteration of Syriac into Arabic. This is a great read
for anyone interested in the translation of Syriac into Arabic.
The History of the Za'faran Monastery is for the first time offered
in English translation to the readers. It was written in 1917 by
Patriarch Ignatius Aphram Barsoum (d. 1957) when he was still a
monk at the monastery. The book details the history of the
monastery from its inception until modern times. It deals with with
everything, from construction to its significance as a center of
Syriac learning and learned men. Without this small book, the first
of its kind, a great and significant page of the history of the
Syrian Church of Antioch would have been lamentably lost.
Barsoum's wrote many historical essays which he published in now
hard-to-find journals, mainly al-Hikmah and al-Majalla
al-Batriyarkiyya al-Suryaniyya (Jerusalem). This collection of
articles, published in the original Arabic with an English
translation by Matti Moosa, forms the core of Barsoum's historical
writings.
This book is a collection of articles written by the eminent
scholar and Syrian Orthodox Patriarch Ephrem Barsaum. The
"Lighthouse" in the book is meant to refer to the thought of
Patriarch Barsaum: like a lighthouse, every researcher, scholar, or
reader of Syriac must turn towards it for guidance. The articles in
this volume display Barsoum's characteristic erudition and
scholarly thoroughness and cover a wide variety of topics, all
related to the history of the various Syriac-speaking churches and
the churches of Antioch, in addition to other Middle Eastern
Churches.
The History of Syriac Dioceses, by the late Patriarch Aphram I of
Antioch and all the East, is a synopsis of a much larger study
still in manuscript form. This selected portion of this history,
published for the first time in English translation (volume 1)
along with the original Arabic text (volume 2), offers the reader
an in-depth treatment of the conditions of the Syrian Orthodox
Church in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
