The Chronicle of Zuqnīn
The Chronicle of Zuqnin is a universal history beginning with the Creation according to the biblical account and ending with the time of the Chronicler, the years 775-776 AD. The author is most probably Joshua the Stylite, a contemporary of the Caliphs al-Mansur and al-Mahdi, who lived in the monastery of Zuqnin that was located near Amid, the Diar-Bakr of modern Turkey. Parts I and II contain compiled sources some of which survived only in this Chronicle. Sources include the Bible, Cave of Treasures, the Sleepers of Ephesus, Eusebius of Caesarea, Socrates, and the short Chronicle called Pseudo-Joshua the Stylite that deals with Sassanian-Byzantine warfare at the begging of the 6th century. Parts III and IV cover the years 488 and 775 AD. In this volume, Parts I and II, including the author's dedicatory letter, are now published in an updated edition of the Syriac text and the first English translation.
Bosnian Chronicle
Set in the town of Travnik, Bosnian Chronicle presents the struggle for supremacy in a region that stubbornly refuses to submit to any outsider.

Viața unui cărturar
Trăgând linie, am spune că ne aflăm în prezenţa unui demers pertinent de mare actualitate, a unui preţios instrument de lucru menit să umple un gol în literatura didactico-ştiinţifică de specialitate, dar totodată putând deveni util şi unor cercuri intelectuale interesate de evoluţia fenomenului poetic rusesc în secolul XX, situate în afara comunităţii universitare.
