Wellcome !

You will find a data base on Syriac manuscripts. It will enable any researcher to make a request on texts, authors and codicological elements for all manuscripts in the world. So thanks to this data-base you can ask some material details, and also make a request about one person connected with the making of the Syriac manuscript (copyist, restorer, sponsor, ...).

This data-base is in progress. Made in the framework of the ANR programm called SYRAB this Web site is under the scientific responsability of André Binggeli and Muriel Debié (CNRS, IRHT, section grecque et Proche-Orient chrétien) Françoise Briquel-Chatonnet and Alain Desreumaux (CNRS, UMR 8167) and fed by Emilie Villey and Flavia Ruani. 

In progress
