This first edition of Syriac Patrology is a collection of early Christian texts in Syriac, edited by French orientalist René Graffin, and translated and annotated by Jean Parisot, François Nau, and Michael Kmosko. The "Patrologia Syriaca" was started in 1894 with the aim of publishing a collection that would contain Oriental texts, edited in the original tongues with a translation into Latin or a modern, Western language. In this case, Syriac, a Christian Aramaic dialect is translated into Latin, whereby each page is separated into two columns (the Syriac text facing the Latin). The topic is mainly hagiography (biographies of biblical figures). Ex-library bookplate on inside of each front cover, and pocket on inside of back covers. Stamp at top and bottom edges. Minor shelf wear. Pages slightly age-toned throughout. Text in Latin and Syriac. Bindings in overall good to good+, interior in good to very good condition.
