If you're a learner or new reader of Greek or Syriac, or if you teach Greek or Syriac, try out the Pearlsong!
In Greek, there's both a late ancient prose text and a Byzantine paraphrase (in a homily); in Syriac, it's a 105-line poem.
Glossaries for both languages are included.

These two new pieces of mine will bring something new about Aphrahat and Ephrem. I can only hope they will be published before too long!

If you are interested in medieval autographs (holographs), I invite you to take a look at a newly published article of mine that examines the Syriac autographs of one of the most prominent Christian Syriac writers, ʿAbdishoʿ bar Brikha (d. 1318).
