Beth Karmo, Where Syriac Homilies Get Their Voices Back
An open digital edition of fifth-century-and-later Syriac texts, presenting original scripts, transliteration, and English, French, and Arabic translations.
Field notes
Beth Karmo organizes a substantial edition of Isaac of Antioch’s verse homilies around three readable layers: Syriac, transliteration, and translation. The homepage identifies 56 memre and roughly 800 pages in the Bedjan Leipzig 1903 edition; Syriac and transliteration are complete, while two memre are translated into English, French, and Arabic. Readers can change the script style without changing the underlying text, and can flag suspected machine-reading errors line by line.
