Más información sobre el libro

"Although William Wright's famous book is over a century old and so is inevitably outdated in certain respects, nevertheless his unsurpassed knowledge of Syriac literature, gained through cataloging the very large collection of Syriac manuscripts in the British Museum (now, British Library), means that his Short History of Syriac Literature still remains an extremely valuable resource, and it is most welcome to have it made available again." - Dr. Sebastian P. Brock, University of OxfordThis reprint of an extensive article that appeared in an 1887 edition of Encyclopedia Britannica features additional notes by William Wright.
