Cole Heiserman Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I would also support the idea of being able to switch Syriac scripts in Accordance. I think that would be very helpful. Overall, I believe Accordance should lean into their Syriac/Peshitta tools. We should have English translations of the Peshitta - TAGGED - Gorgias Press has these (with Serta script). More Syriac Grammars and Lexicons. Also, access to TAGGED works by Syriac-speaking Eastern Church Fathers like Aphrahat and Ephrem. Pretty much anything that has to do with Syriac should be put on Accordance. I would certainly buy it, and one can only think about the great contributions in research if more Syriac tools were accessible. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Theis Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Amen Cole! With the founder of Accordance having such a strong commitment to Syriac, I am surprised to see so little being done in this area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian W. Davidson Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I'm very interested in any and all Syriac resources! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To request Serto is fine, and I'd also like to have it. But you aren't restricted to Estrangela font, as Accordance also makes available the Peshitta in standard "Hebrew" letters also, called the HPESHNT-T module, which is even tagged. (I've also uploaded some free User Bibles including a beautiful vowelized version of the Peshitta (see "Peshitta - 1905 UBS Text" at http://www.accordancefiles1.com/exchange/bibles.htm Quote I'm very interested in any and all Syriac resources!
