Bücher von Ignatius Aphram I Barsoum

The History of the Za'faran Monastery is for the first time offered in English translation to the readers. The book details the history of the monastery from its inception until modern times. 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.

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.

Mor Ignatius Aphram I Barsoum presents a comprehensive history of the literature of the Syriac tradition.
