Leaving Ghent after an excellent conference on paratexts, organized by @ugent and @Brepols, where I presented on: Paratexts in Syriac Liturgical Manuscripts. I am thankful to the wonderful organizers and colleagues whom I was privileged to meet!

Ephrem Ishac @ephremishac on the power of names as attested by the Syriac liturgical manuscripts

[Ephrem @ephremishac]

Manuscripts have colophons, and perhaps this photo at the end of our beautiful workshop can function as a pictorial colophon. Many thanks to the organizers: @scsincyberspace, @george_kiraz, @grigory_kessel, and Uta Nitschke-Joseph, who brought the spirit of @the_IAS to @oeaw!

In the International Women’s Day, I share an old colophon from the 10th century about two women: Hannah and her fellow 'Azizto, who donated a 9th century manuscript for the Syriac Church in Jerusalem.

Did you enjoy @ephremishac piece on Syriac language and #Gemini @GoogleAI ?

We are out with the second part! Having led us through how #Gemini can chat in Syriac, Ephrem Ishac takes us through more useful and fun ways to use this tool!

Just received my copies of the two Syriac volumes: #COGD 5/1-2 (West and East Syriac Synods). I am grateful to all the contributors and to everyone who worked very hard to reach this twin-birth, especially Malphono Robert Kitchen. Indeed, it is a great Christmas present 🎁 😀 🎄!
