Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of records and writings from the Syriac and Karshuni manuscripts housed in the British Museum, valuable for their considerable range of religious, philosophical, and literary works from the Near East and southern India, of which a significant portion have been digitized and made available online. The collection includes some of the earliest known examples of Syriac literature, including biblical texts, sermons, and historical accounts, many of which shed light on the spread of Christianity in the region. Also well-represented in the British Museum's collection are Syriac translations of works from Greek, Arabic, and Persian, as well as a range of Karshuni literature from the region, which spans poetry, medicine, astronomy, and astrology. Together, these works offer scholars a rich resource for understanding the history, culture, and intellectual life of the Near East.
