Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

Beth Karmo reproduces the homilies as Bedjan printed them in 1903, placing one couplet on each line and adding transliteration plus parallel translations. Its first collection covers 56 memre and roughly 800 pages; the Syriac and transliteration are complete, while two memre currently have translations. Readers can switch between East Syriac, Serto, and Estrangela forms, and can report mistakes introduced when the source pages were machine-read.
