The History of Syriac Literature and Sciences, by Patriarch Ignatius Aphram I Barsoum (Pueblo, CO., 2000), translated into English, edited, and with an introduction by Matti Moosa, in 266 searchable pdf pages. Despite certain drawbacks, this remarkable work by Patriarch Barsoum (1887-1957) contains such an astounding wealth of material otherwise unavailable to Western scholars, that it almost ranks as a primary source in its own right.
