"Patriarch Aphram Barsoum's al-Lu'lu' al Manthur (The Scattered Pearls) is the most extensive survey of Syriac literature ever compiled by an Eastern scholar. Unlike its European counterparts, it covers Syriac literature until the beginning of the twentieth century. The wealth of Barsoum's work lies in the fact that it draws upon hundreds of manuscripts which Barsoum personally examined before the outbreak of World War I; many of these manuscripts are now unaccounted for. Western scholarship has been deprived of this work for decades as it was available only in the original Arabic, and later in a Syriac translation by Dolabani (1967). Only parts of its contents, particularly the later biographies, were made accessible indirectly through Rudolf Macuoh's Geschichte der spät- und neusyrischen Literatur (1976). Matti Moosa's translation fills a gap and will be welcomed by scholars, students and general readers."--BOOK JACKET.

The Ecclesiastical History of Bar Hebraeus is an important source for the history of the Syrian Orthodox Church and the Church of the East. It deserves to be widely read, but has never before been fully translated into English. David Wilmshurst, a noted historian of the Church of the East, has now provided a graceful and accurate English translation of the Ecclesiastical History, with the aim of winning this important text the readership it deserves. Wilmshurst's elegant translation is complemented by a well-informed and helpful introduction, several pages of maps and a comprehensive index of places and persons.
