Scholars' Reactions

Sebastian Brock (University of Oxford): "This collection of digitized photographs on DVD of the complete text of selected Syriac manuscripts in the Vatican Library provides a wonderful new resource for scholars: here is a new development of great importance for Syriac studies."

David Taylor (University of Oxford): "This is a wonderful example of the combination of traditional scholarship with modern technology to meet the needs of academics and students of Syriac literature at the beginning of the twenty-first century, and I suspect and hope that it is a model that will be followed by those responsible for many further manuscript collections. The technical team at Brigham Young University and the staff of the Vatican Library are to be warmly congratulated on this magnificent collaborative project which may well change the way that we all work."
