DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Epiphanius' work 'On weights and Measures' includes both metrological information of great interest and also the story of the translation of the Bible into Greek and details about the various Greekl translations of the Bible. This work is known in a defective Greek text, and texts in Syriac and Georgian. Here, for the first time, substantial parts of the work preserved in diverse Armenian sources, are assembled, edited and translated. A detailed introduction has been provided, as well as a commentary and an appendix listing Epiphanian and pseudo-Epiphanian works known in Armenian.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Though fairly distinct among Syriac manuscripts, the nearly twenty exemplars of the so-called Syriac "Masora" remain relatively unknown and often misunderstood. These handbooks were developed to help the reader pronounce, interpret, and compare words from across a spectrum of different sources: including works of patristics, theology, liturgy, and the Bible. Because earlier studies of this genre have focused, almost exclusively, on the biblical portions of these manuscripts, little has been known about the collections of excerpts from 255 patristic-era writings included in many of these handbooks. This volume is the first-ever study and transcription of over ten thousand excerpted ?vocalized words and readings? (smohe w-qroyoto) from works attributed to Greek writers such as Ps.-Dionysius, Basil, Gregory of Nazianzus, and Severus of Antioch. This material has the potential to inform not only Syriac studies and Patristics, but the broader study of literacy and modes of learning in the Medieval Middle East.0.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This volume comprises three appendices to the same author's Old Nubian Dictionary (CSCO 556, Subs. 90; 1996). The first deals with the emphatic particles -lo/-lo, -sin and -so/-so and provides for each a catalogue of examples followed by a commentary describing the usage. The second appendix, intended to facilitate the editing of damaged texts, is a reverse index of all the words entered in the Dictionary. The third furnishes addenda et corrigenda to M.M. Khalil's published Worterbuch der nubischen Sprache (Fadidja/Mahas-Dialekt) and supplements the cognates cited in the Dictionary. Like the Dictionary, this volume of appendices should be of interest to all who work in the area of Christian Africa. The author is Professor of the Classics and Linguistics in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA) and is recognized as the world's leading authority on Old Nubian.
