A reprint company has produced a hardcopy version of R. Payne
Smith's "Compendious Syriac Dictionary" and BarEbroyo's "Dove". This
small company (Old South Books, not to be confused with the Old South Books which concentrates on medical manuscripts) has typically concentrated on Civil War topics, but if you
browse their blog, it becomes apparent they are branching out. Further
still, the icing on the cake is their reprint of "Mystic Treatises By Isaac Of
Nineveh". These works are freely available on the internet in various
locations (see list of links to the left) however, reading e-text can be
a tremendous strain on the eyes and a PC limits how and where you can
sit. Opening a real book and feeling the pages in your hands lends
itself far more powerfully to memorization and spiritual insight than
looking at a computer screen. Excellent prices, too, for us
non-academics.
