Opis książki

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.

Covering the broadest possible range of relevant topics, it brings together cutting-edge research by acknowledged experts, and succeeds in being both immensely learned and accessible. There is generous provision of maps, illustrations, and appendices, and the detailed bibliographies allow readers to pursue topics still further. A considerable achievement on the part of the editor, this volume will be an invaluable addition to private libraries as well as a must for institutions."
- Alison G. Salvesen, University of Oxford, UK


"'The Syriac World' is a very significant and valuable work, which is certainly recommended to students of Syriac studies, to specialists in related fields, and to all who have genuine interest in this fascinating subject."
- Bryn Mawr Classical Review


"This volume presenting contributions by leading scholars and experts from across the world is a testimony to this vibrant and fruitful field.
In conclusion, this volume edited by Daniel King is a rich, fascinating, and very useful tool for Syriacists. Most important, perhaps, it offers fresh perspectives on the other regions and communities with which members of 'the Syriac World' came into contact."
- Anna Hager, Vienna, Journal of Eastern Christian Studies
