This volume contains the contents of George Kiraz’s catalogue of over 1300 people and places related to the Syriac tradition and corresponding citations in select Arabic sources of the twentieth century, including Barsoum’s al-Luʾluʾ al-manthūr and Tārīkh Tūr ʿAbdīn, Yaʿqub III’s Tārīkh al-kanīsah al-suryāniyyah and the Patriarchal magazines of Damascus and Jerusalem. Included are the names in Arabic script as found in the catalogue, Latin renderings of the names and citations, and, where applicable, references to corresponding articles in the Gorgias Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Syriac Heritage. The index encourages wider use of these important Arabic sources for the purpose of obtaining biographical data on an extensive array of figures in and around the Syriac tradition.
