Bar Hebraeus
The Syriac Orthodox prelate and polymath Gregory Abu al-Faraj Barhebraeus (Bar 'Ebroyo) was indisputably the greatest author of the so-called Syriac Renaissance of the 12th-13th centuries and his works have been the subject of innumerable studies over the past four centuries. There has, however, been little study in recent years aimed at providing a comprehensive overview of his life and works. Hidemi Takahashi's Barhebraeus: A Bibliography is an attempt to fill this lacuna. The volume begins with a biographical account of Barhebraeus which takes into consideration the results of the latest research as well as those studies from the past, some of which have lain almost forgotten in obscure corners of libraries. An overview of the maphhrian's works follows, together with an attempt to delineate some of the outstanding characteristics of these works. The appendix contains a comprehensive bibliography of editions and studies relating to Barhebraeus, along with an updated list of the manuscripts of his works.

A Syriac Encyclopaedia of Aristotelian Philosophy
This volume deals with the part on practical philosophy in Barhebraeus's "Butyrum sapientiae" or " Cream of Wisdom". The practical philosophy in this large encyclopaedia of Aristotelean thinking in this Syriac language consists of three books: Ethics, Economy and Politics. The books of Ethics and Politics have been edited, translated and commented upon for the very first time in this publication. These books are unique and probably the only specimens of its kind, surviving in the Syriac language and literature. They were written at the end of Barhebraeus's life (1285/86) during a period in which the Syriac language had been rapidly losing ground to Arabic and was to almost disappear as a living language not long after the author's death.
Aristotelian Rhetoric in Syriac
This volume contains the Syriac text, edited for the first time, of the commentary on Aristotle’s Rhetoric by Bar Hebraeus (died 1286) in his Cream of Wisdom. The text is accompanied by an English translation, and the volume also includes an introduction, commentary, and three glossaries (Syriac, Greek and Arabic). Bar Hebraeus’ commentary is based on the lost Syriac version of Aristotle’s treatise, but the author also drew heavily on the commentary of Ibn Sina (Avicenna). The text therefore provides a unique insight into the nature of that lost version, and also exemplifies the way Bar Hebraeus blended the Aristotle of the Graeco-Syriac translation literature with the more recent philosophy of Ibn Sina.
Encyclopedia of Medieval Philosophy
This is the first reference ever devoted to medieval philosophy. It covers all areas of the field from 500-1500 including philosophers, philosophies, key terms and concepts. It also provides analyses of particular theories plus cultural and social contexts.
The Person of Jesus Christ in the Writings of Juhanon Gregorius Abu'l Faraj Commonly Called Bar Ebraya
" Panicker's book about the Christology of the Bar Ebraya, a work he completed while living in Rome, provides a comprehensive overview of the great Middle Age theologians of the Syrian renaissance with a view to considering key Christological questions. Panicker, who is now a lecturer at the Orthodox seminar in Kottayam, has specific ecumenical aims in mind when he discusses the themes of his book. Hence, Panicker is able to make significant contributions to modern ecumenism. "
