The second tranche of Abu’l Barakat’s 13th century catalogue of Arabic Christian books has arrived today. It’s very, very interesting. The translation is getting better, and the translator is going to cross-reference the authors and works to Quasten’s Patrology and Graf’s Geschichte der christlichen arabischen Literatur. I’ll release this into the public domain, with transcription, when it’s done and post it online.
